OBJECTIVES: The need for mechanical ventilation 24 hours after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is considered a morbidity by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. The purpose of this investigation was twofold: to identify simple preoperative patien...
BACKGROUND: Robotic technology is one of the most recent technological changes in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operations. The current analysis was conducted to identify trends in the use and outcomes of robotic-assisted CABG (RA-CABG).
BACKGROUND: Redo mitral valve surgery in patients with patent coronary bypass grafts carries a risk of graft injury and postoperative bleeding. We compare early results of reoperative minimally invasive on-pump beating heart mitral valve surgery (OPB...

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...

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...
OBJECTIVE: Transit time flow measurement (TTFM) is valuable for assessing intraoperative graft patency in coronary artery bypass surgery (CAB). The significance of competitive native coronary flow on patency, as predicted by percentage of backflow (%...
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...
