Background: The coronary sinus type of atrial septal defect is rare. Standard treatment typically involves intracardiac repair using conventional sternotomy or thoracotomy incisions; however, robotic technology can offer a feasible alternative due to its ability to provide a high-quality surgical view of this anomaly.
Case Presentation: A 72-year-old man presented with asymptomatic atrial septal defect.

Objective: Myocardial bridging (MB) occurs when a coronary artery, commonly the left anterior descending (LAD), has an intramyocardial course. In symptomatic patients who fail medical therapy, surgical unroofing can provide symptomatic relief by improving coronary blood flow. We present a series of patients undergoing robotic totally endoscopic beating-heart MB unroofing.

Unlabelled: A 56-year-old female diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and myocardial bridge (MB) of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery underwent septal myectomy with resolution of her left ventricular outflow tract gradient. She had ongoing refractory symptoms of exertional angina and fatigue for over a decade and finally presented to our clinic to be re-evaluated for treatment. Provocative angiographic testing confirmed significant ischemia secondary to LAD MB.
