abstract = {Robotic-assisted coronary bypass is an attractive option in the management of patients with isolated left anterior descending artery (LAD) disease or multi-vessel coronary disease providing the benefits of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the LAD graft while avoiding the morbidity of a sternotomy. Although the learning curve is significant, both cardiothoracic surgery trainees as well as experienced coronary surgeons can learn this technique. As the prevalence of patients requiring these procedures increases, we must be prepared to respond by increasing our training of robotic coronary surgeons.},
