!!!NEW!!! CLINICAL FORUM !!!NEW!!!
to make the quarterly livelier and more beneficial for doctors and scientists !!!

On June the 1st, 2021 VSJ launches a new discussion platform in the journal.

We invite all MIS surgeons to rapidly submit for publication:
- small forms describing unusual clinical situations related to their practice,
- short clinical comments relating to any publications in VSJ, including the clinical situations described above
- brief communications of original studies deserving fast publication
- your personal opinions as part of a larger discussion on the VSJ publication
- letters concerning the topics described above

Clinical Forum gives you a means of rapid presentation of your findings in the medical databases, scientific citations on the international forum, and also an Impact Factor!

PlumX metrics:

We present the clinical case of a 63-year-old patient who underwent in the Department of Cardiac Surgery implantation of an aorto-bifemoral graft prosthesis and coronary artery bypass revascularization with application of less invasive off-pump technique. Graft selection (arterial grafts, venous grafts) is very important during qualification for coronary artery bypass revascularization. Minimally invasive saphenous vein harvesting was performed during the presented case. The endoscopic technique of vein harvesting is a relatively rarely applied technique during myocardial revascularization surgery. The concept of minimally invasive videoscopic technique is presented. There is a discussion on why the team decided to prolong duration of the case consisting of two major operations performed simultaneously. Minimally invasive videoscopic technique may have a significant positive impact on postoperative outcome in a selected group of patients.
