BACKGROUND: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) estimates mortality risk only for certain common procedures (eg, coronary artery bypass or valve surgery) and is cumbersome, requiring greater than 60 inputs. We hypo...
The main aim of the present study was to predict myocardial function improvement in cardiac MR (LGE-CMR) images in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using radiomics and machine learning algorithms. Altogether, 43 patients who had ...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning may enhance prediction of outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We sought to develop and validate a dynamic machine learning model to predict CABG outcomes at clinically relevant pre- and postoperative ti...

Robot-assisted cardiac surgery offers the most minimally-invasive approach to the surgical treatment of valvular heart disease and coronary artery disease. However, robot-assisted cardiac surgery is still far from being a standardized operation. We b...

In minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery (MIDCAB), internal mammary artery harvesting is not so easy because of small exposure and difficult maneuver for long distant target vessel. To expose and harvest left internal mammary arter...

Endoscopic surgery has been introduced as a minimally invasive procedure in other fields. On the other hand, the introduction of surgical robots has made endoscopic surgery possible in cardiac surgery. Coronary artery bypass surgery includes minimall...

OBJECTIVES: Robot-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been developed as a less invasive alternative for conventional CABG to enhance postoperative recovery, patient satisfaction and early discharge to home. Furthermore, it may provide...
Hybrid coronary revascularization consists of left internal thoracic artery (LITA) graft to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and transcatheter revascularization of the non-LAD stenosis in specific settings to achieve complete coronary revasc...
