The Robot-assisted Cardiac Surgery Council (RACSC) was established in 2015, and consists of the members of three closely related surgical societies and associations. The RACSC conducts the review and approval of applicant surgeons and institutions. A...
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether an electrocardiography-based artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm developed to detect severe ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] of 35% or below) independently predicts long-term mortality...

One of the critical components of robotic-assisted beating heart surgery is precise localization of a point-of-interest (POI) position on cardiac surface, which needs to be tracked by the robotic instruments. This is challenging as the incoming senso...

We report the early results of our initial 20 consecutive robotic-assisted mitral valve repairs at our institution. A total of 20 patients (aged 55±10 years, 15 males) underwent robotic assisted mitral repairs by using da Vinci system. Successful mit...
This is a response to the papers in the May/June issue of focused on robotic techniques in cardiac and thoracic surgery. Successful robotic surgery relies on a high level of preparation and communication from each member of the operating room. The l...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this review, we discuss the current evidence supporting each minimally invasive mitral repair approach and their associated controversies.

Utilization of intraoperative autotransfusion (IAT) during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been shown to reduce allogeneic red blood cell transfusion. Previous research has emphasized the benefits of using IAT in the intraoperat...
