BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) models are promising tools for predicting adverse postoperative outcomes in cardiac surgery, yet have not translated to routine clinical use. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the predictiv...
Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can be performed with or without robotic assistance. In this issue of the journal, Zheng et al. compare between these two approaches in a propensity-matched study over a 5-year period and show that the two tech...
In this article, the author provides synopses of the factors that have finally propelled health-care education and practice to join, at times reluctantly, the overarching digital transformative process that has been swept other industries over the la...
Improvementsin medical imaging and a steady increase in computing power are leading to new possibilities in the field of cardiovascular interventions. Interventions can be planned in advance in greater detail, even to the point of simulating procedur...
Since the development of endoscopic vision in the late 1970s, the implementation of minimally invasive surgical methods has been rapidly progressing throughout a wide range of surgical disciplines, including cardiovascular surgery. The benefits of mi...
Hybrid coronary revascularization consists of left internal thoracic artery (LITA) graft to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and transcatheter revascularization of the non-LAD stenosis in specific settings to achieve complete coronary revasc...
