Surgeon will take a segment of a healthy blood vessel from another part of the patient’s body and makes a detour (”bypass”) around the bad part of artery. This operation is also called coronary artery bypass surgery.

Robotic heart surgery is recently being performed more and more to improve result compared to traditional coronary artery bypass surgery. It is an electrical mechanical instrument, a very precise instrument for microsurgery, very steady with magnification of ten folds. It enables a heart surgeon to do coronary artery bypass surgery without dividing the sternum, only thru tiny portholes to do endoscopic body surgery.
