Anastomotic Obstruction After Magnetic Vascular Coupling After Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

We report a 61-year-old man who required reoperation 8 months after minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting after magnetic vascular coupling due to a symptomatic subtotal obstruction at the anastomotic site. It was also determined that the patient had been noncompliant in following the prescribed postoperative antiplatelet therapy.
