This study reviews the evolution of minimally invasive mitral valve repair, emphasizing the use of robotic platforms from 2005 to 2023. Analyzing 1,412 robotic
A new technique for accessing the mitral valve via the left anterior minithoracotomy has been developed for patients requiring both mitral valve surgery and
This study investigates the early clinical outcomes of using an automated annular suturing device, the RAM® device, in endoscopic minimally invasive aortic and mitral
This study compares long-term outcomes between mini-sternotomy and full sternotomy approaches for valve-sparing aortic root reimplantation. The mini-sternotomy group had longer surgical times but
This study explores the prognostic implications of changes in cardiac damage following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Analyzing 1,863 patients from the SwissTAVI Registry,
This paper introduces a new endocavitary suction device designed to enhance minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) systems during mitral valve surgeries. By reducing blood
This systematic review and meta-analysis compares the efficacy of COR-KNOT® automated fasteners to hand-tied knots in cardiac valve surgery. Analyzing data from 1,411 participants
This study analyzed the clinical outcomes of redo surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) for prosthetic valve failure from 2010 to 2021 across four tertiary
This study compared minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) to conventional approaches (CAVR) in 203 obese patients, using propensity-matched analysis to ensure comparability. Results
This study compares the procedural and clinical outcomes of two minimally invasive techniques for aortic valve replacement: right anterior thoracotomy (RAT-AVR) and transaxillary access
This study analyzes the outcomes of endoscopic mitral valve surgery (MVS) in 756 patients, focusing on those aged ≥75. Despite the elderly patients’ increased
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is revolutionizing cardiology, offering enhanced patient selection, procedural planning, and post-implantation monitoring.
