The left side up to the heart from the chest muscle without breaking the ribs in order to avoid the usual procedure through the incision of the sternum, which needs a healing period of two to three months for the patient to return to his normal state and practice his work as usual.

The operation was successfully performed and the coronary arteries were connected, and the patient was transferred to the intensive care room for two days only until he recovered completely, and then he was transferred to a normal room for two days before leaving the hospital in full health and wellness, praise be to God.
