In 39 patients, multivessel grafting was combined with 25 mitral valve and 22 left ventricular procedures. Mitral valve repair was performed through the aneurysm (n\u2009=\u20098) or through the interatrial septum (n\u2009=\u200917). Perioperative outcomes in isolated and combined groups were next: aortic cross-clamp time\u201471.9 (SD: 19.9) and 120 (SD: 25.8) min; cardiopulmonary bypass time\u2014145.7 (SD: 33.5) and 216 (SD: 45.8) min; total operating time\u2014269 (SD: 51.8) and 324 (SD: 52.1) min; intensive care unit stay\u20142 (2\u20132) and 2 (2\u20132) days; total hospital stay\u20146 (5\u20137) and 6 (5\u20137) days; and total 30-day mortality was 0.54 and 0%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A left anterior minithoracotomy can be effectively used as a first-choice approach to perform isolated multivessel coronary grafting and can be combined with mitral valve and\/or left ventricular repair.
