What is another word for port-access coronary bypass surgery?
Pronunciation: [pˈɔːtˈaksɛs kˈɒɹənəɹi bˈa͡ɪpas sˈɜːd͡ʒəɹi] (IPA) 
Port-access coronary bypass surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to treat blockages in the arteries supplying the heart muscle. This procedure is also known as port-a-cabg, keyhole coronary bypass surgery, and minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB). Port-a-cabg is considered a less invasive surgical option compared to traditional open-heart surgery, as the incisions made in the chest are much smaller. Keyhole coronary bypass surgery is a term that describes the smaller incision made in the chest during the procedure. MIDCAB is a more technical term that emphasizes the surgical approach used to bypass the blocked arteries through a minimally invasive incision. All these terms are synonymous and used interchangeably to describe port-access coronary bypass surgery.
