AB  - The leading minimally invasive procedures employed in coronary surgery are 
      minimally invasive direct coronary arterial bypass surgery (MIDCAB) and the 
      Octopus system. These interventions are performed on the beating heart and 
      require no extracorporeal circulation (ECC), thus avoiding the side effects, such 
      as pulmonary or neurological complications, associated with ECC. In surgery on 
      the mitral or aortic valve, the procedures are carried out via small incisions in 
      the non-beating heart, and endovascular bypass systems (e.g. Port-Access) are 
      sometimes needed for EEC. The advantages of small incisions are a reduction in 
      the risk of infection, shorter hospital stay and, in particular, improved 
      cosmesis. A disadvantage is the longer operating time. Only careful patients 
      selection guarantees successful surgery.
