Abstract |  Download PDF | |  Post | Background: Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) via left anterior thoracotomy has emerged as a less invasive alternative to conventional open sternotomy (OPEN CABG), offering potential benefits in perioperative outcomes and complication rates. Objective. The aim of this study was to compare procedural characteristics, ventilation duration, drainage volumes, and postoperative complications between MICS CABG and OPEN CABG in a single-center cohort in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Methods. This retrospective cross-sectional study included 262 patients who underwent surgical revascularization between January 2019 and June 2023. Results. MICS CABG was associated with a shorter median procedure time (2.5 vs. 3.5 hours, p
