Abstract: 
To date extracorporeal circulation (ECC) and cardiac surgery are still inextricably linked to each other. It was only the introduction of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) that made many cardiac surgical procedures possible. Very early on physicians became aware that ECC resulted in significant side effects, which can be responsible for triggering severe postoperative complications in patients after cardiac surgery. A less invasive ECC seems to make sense, firstly because this is indispensable for many heart operations and secondly there are indications that the use of ECC in coronary surgery can have a positive influence on the quality of the results of coronary bypass anastomoses. The concept of minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) aims to fulfil the requirements of reduced invasiveness without sacrificing the benefits of CPB (e.g. support of cardiocirculatory function).
