The quality of treatment and prognosis after pediatric congenital heart surgery remains unsatisfactory. A reliable prediction model for postoperative complications of congenital heart surgery patients is essential to enable prompt initiation of thera...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic mitral valve surgery has developed for more than 20 years. The main purpose of robotic assistance is to use multiwristed instruments for surgical endothoracic maneuvers on the mitral valve without opening the chest. The surgeon ...
In the mid- to late-1990s the cardiac surgery community began to apply limited incisions in mitral valve surgery. Ministernotomies and right-sided minithoracotomies were placed instead of the classic midline sternotomy. Adjunct technology such as vid...

BACKGROUND: This paper describes a case of a patient with situs inversus totalis (SIT) and dextrocardia in which robotic atrial septal defect (ASD) repair was successfully performed in a beating heart.
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Robotic technology provides excellent visualization and surgical precision and it is reaching maturity in cardiac surgery, although mostly confined to mitral surgery and coronary revascularization. Robotic aortic valv...
Minimally invasive techniques for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), specifically robotic-assisted CABG has increased in popularity despite conflicting evidence. Here, we review a report by Yokoyama and colleagues to the Journal of Cardiac Surge...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning is a useful tool for predicting medical outcomes. This study aimed to develop a machine learning-based preoperative score to predict cardiac surgical operative mortality.
