| Abstract: | Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery has been shown to be a promising technique for surgical treatment of single or double vessel disease. However, little is known about quality of life, mood state or coping in this group of patients. The records of 55 consecutive patients who underwent MIDCAB surgery at Harefield Hospital between April 1999 and May 2001 were reviewed. In order to assess quality of life, mood state and coping, patients were contacted by telephone to conduct a semi-structured interview and were subsequently sent four questionnaires. The measures used were the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Short Form Health Survey, the WHOQoL-BREF and the COPE. Forty-eight patients were contacted by telephone, forty-four of whom returned the completed questionnaires. Overall ratings of quality of life were excellent for the majority of patients, and rates of anxiety and depression were lower than previously found following coronary artery bypass surgery. It is concluded that following MIDCAB surgery quality of life and mood state outcomes are encouraging. However, a prospective, longitudinal study is now required to further elucidate the relationship between quality of life, mood state and coping and to identify predictive factors for physical and psychological outcome following this new surgical technique.
