Yes indeed CTSI is limited to single bypass (IMA to LAD usually). Most open heart surgery requires multiple bypasses, including veins with proximal anastomoses, thus requiring bypass - If a single open bypass were to be performed, then there is no reason why the anastomosis can not be made off bypass. The most complications that occur during coronary surgery are secondary to the institution of bypass (including about 5% stroke rates (as a recent NEJM paper stated), therefore the CTSI technique should have fewer complications than any technique that requires bypass (including HRPT) in the patients that are candidates for the procedure. I have no info about patents.
