Mitral repair and the robot: a revolutionary tool or marketing ploy?

Current opinion in cardiology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this review, we discuss the current evidence supporting each minimally invasive mitral repair approach and their associated controversies.

The Influence of Intraoperative Autotransfusion on Postoperative Hematocrit after Cardiac Surgery: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The journal of extra-corporeal technology
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...

The Feasibility of a Completely Automated Total IV Anesthesia Drug Delivery System for Cardiac Surgery.

Anesthesia and analgesia
BACKGROUND: In this pilot study, we tested a novel automatic anesthesia system for closed-loop administration of IV anesthesia drugs for cardiac surgical procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass. This anesthesia drug delivery robot integrates all 3 com...

Echocardiographic Follow-up of Robotic Mitral Valve Repair for Mitral Regurgitation due to Degenerative Disease.

Chinese medical journal
BACKGROUND: Mitral valve (MV) repair can now be carried out through small incisions with the use of robotic assistance. Previous reports have demonstrated the excellent clinical result of robotic MV repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR). ...

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...

Transareolar Robotic-Assisted Access to the Mitral Valve.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)
During the past years, a rapid development and refinements of robotic heart valve techniques have led to consider robotic mitral valve (MV) surgery safe, effective, and durable. Robotic MV surgery has proven to be a cost-effective and cost-saving str...
