Adult Cardiac Masterclass: Coronary Deep Dive | Recorded at the AATS 106th Annual Meeting

This on-demand masterclass provides an in-depth look at advanced coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) techniques and strategies for managing complex coronary disease. Expert faculty share practical approaches to off-pump, anaortic, minimally invasive, and robotic CABG, along with guidance on conduit selection, graft configuration, reoperative surgery, graft assessment, and coronary endarterectomy. Gain valuable insights into technical mastery, operative decision-making, and contemporary approaches to optimizing outcomes in coronary revascularization.

This session includes the following presentations: 

  • Mastering Off-Pump Exposure
  • Mastering Anaortic Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
  • Mastering Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Exposure
  • What Does It Take to Master Robotic Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)?
  • Mastering Conduit Choice and Configuration
  • Mastering Redo Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
  • Mastering Graft Assessment and Deep Target Images
  • Mastering Endarterectomy and Stentectomy
