One of the most recent remarkable advances in the field of surgery is the introduction of less invasive surgery or a minimally invasive approach.1 This concept has been developing since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in abdominal surgery over the last several years. This new approach using endoscopic support has now spread widely to various fields including other surgical subspecialities. In gastrointestinal surgery, the approach and targets have also been expanded to gastric tumors and intestinal lesions.1,2 The initial response by most of the surgeons appeared to be reluctance because the classic concept of surgery had been to perform safe and consistent procedures with direct vision without considering the size of the incision or the degree of invasiveness. The new era of revolutionary change in the clinical practice of surgery has to depart from the classic attitude that surgeons are allowed to use any invasive approach they desire. In the field of thoracic surgery, endoscopic procedures (the thoracosocopic method) have also become popular for pneumothorax, solitary benign pulmonary tumors, and mediastinal tumor resection.3 This strategy has now also been extended to cardiovascular surgery starting from ligation of patent ductus arteriosus.4 The concept of minimally invasive surgery is also spreading to intracardiac surgery such as for valvular lesions, atrial septal defect (ASD), and other simple congenital defects as well as for coronary bypass. Therefore, tremendous changes
