A propensity score-matched study of 178 patients undergoing mitral valve surgery compared minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) with conventional median sternotomy. Although MICS required
Minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery reduce surgical trauma and speed recovery but often require longer cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times, increasing risks such as
This study explores a novel perfusion strategy for minimally invasive redo mitral valve surgery in patients with severe atherosclerotic and artheromic aortic disease. Using
This study introduces the Aulus venous cannula, a novel device for minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) designed to improve cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The cannula
This network meta-analysis compared four cardioplegia solutions—del Nido (DN), histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK), blood cardioplegia (BC), and St. Thomas’ (STH)—in minimally invasive cardiac surgeries (MICS). Across
