In the researchers' words
The two types of total coronary revascularization via left anterior thoracotomy (TCRAT) might have their potential benefits and disadvantages. The proposed randomized clinical trial here will compare 'RA-TCRAT' with 'Nonrobotic TCRAT' procedures concerning effects on hospital stays, overall healthcare costs, safety, and feasibility. If the two TCRAT procedures are comparably effective and safe, the 'Nonrobotic TCRAT' procedure is probably preferred as it seems easier to use. However, if the 'Nonrobotic TCRAT' procedure is less effective and less safe than the "robotic TCRAT,' that procedure should be preferred.
