Fig 2 Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting of left internal mammary artery to the lateral anterior descending. Note kink proximal to patent anastomosis (grade 4). Angiography led to repositioning of pedicle. Correction of the problem was achieved without redoing the anastomosis, and did not require cardiopulmonary bypass.
