Bailouts to LIMA Damage for Avoiding Conversion in Minimal Access Coronary Procedures.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
Minimally invasive and robotic coronary revascularization strategies offer less pain, fewer adverse events, better cosmesis, and speedier recovery. These procedures are vulnerable to left internal mammary artery (LIMA) injury that may require a full ...

Successful Robotic Excision and Early Chemotherapy for Primary Cardiac Lymphoma.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
We present a 67-year-old patient who underwent robotic excision of a mobile left ventricular mass found incidentally on echocardiography. Intraoperative findings revealed a pedunculated mass infiltrating the interventricular septum, and the results o...

Robotic Excision of a Papillary Fibroelastoma of the Mitral Chordae.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
Papillary fibroelastomas of the mitral chordae tendineae are rare, primary benign tumors. They are either incidentally diagnosed during echocardiography or discovered after transient ischemic attack, stroke, or myocardial infarction. Removal of papil...

Laparoscopic Robot-Assisted Diaphragm Plication.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
Minimally invasive approaches to diaphragm plication for eventration include thoracoscopic and laparoscopic techniques. The elevated hemidiaphragm and ribs limit thoracoscopic techniques. We report our modification of the laparoscopic approach using ...
