Researchers have developed a novel noninvasive coronary artery bypass approach that may offer an alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for select patients with coronary disease. Early experience suggests this technique could reduce surgical trauma and change how some coronary conditions are treated, although broader clinical validation will be needed to define its role in future practice.

Researchers have created a new noninvasive technique for performing a type of artery bypass that may change the future of some coronary surgeries.
