Selective lobar blockade in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting: A technical advantage in patients with low respiratory reserve that precludes one‑lung ventilation.

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery/coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) is performed through a small 2 inch left thoracotomy incision. Lung isolation is must during MICS CABG. Oxygenation with one‑lung ventilation can be difficult, especially during supine position. We report a case of a 53‑year‑old male patient who underwent MICS CABG with the selective lobar blockade.
