OBJECTIVES: The study objectives were to evaluate the association between preoperative heart failure and reoperative cardiac surgical outcomes in adult congenital heart disease and to develop a risk model for postoperative morbidity/mortality.
OBJECTIVE: Many robotic mitral surgeons utilize right thoracotomy with transthoracic clamping of the aorta, while a smaller number employ a port-only endoscopic approach with endoaortic balloon occlusion of the aorta. We present our technique for a p...
A 61-year-old male presented via referral for mitral regurgitation and was deemed an appropriate robotic surgery candidate for complex mitral valve repair with the maze procedure and patent foramen ovale and left atrial appendage closures, using all ...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study using decision curve analysis (DCA) was to evaluate the clinical utility of a deep-learning mortality prediction model for cardiac surgery decision making compared with the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk ...
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive approach for repairing the mitral valve. This study aimed to assess its safety and clinical efficacy when compared with conventional sternotomy, partial sternotomy, and right minithoracotomy.

Intraoperative water testing is essential for assessing mitral valve morphology and degree of residual mitral regurgitation during mitral valve repair. However, in some cases, evacuating intracardiac air is challenging. Herein, we report the routine ...
The large incisions and long recovery periods that accompany traditional cardiac surgery procedures along with the constant patient demand for minimally invasive procedures have motivated cardiac surgeons to implement the robotic technologies in thei...
