Abstract

Methods for performing minimally invasive heart surgery include accessing a heart of a patient (10) through a first incision (12) on the left thorax of the patient, contacting the heart through the incision with a heart stabilizing device (18) and/or heart positioning device (16), introducing at least one coupling device (22,24) through a second incision on the patient located apart from the first incision, coupling the coupling device with the heart stabilizing device or the heart positioning device, and performing a surgical procedure on the heart. Systems may include a retractor device, a heart stabilizing device, and a coupling device, for enhancing cardiac surgery. Any suitable heart surgery may be performed using methods, devices or systems of the present invention. In one embodiment, a coronary artery bypass grafting procedure is performed.
