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...
OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have shown that women carry a higher risk of morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass surgery. We investigated gender differences in risk factors and outcomes in our patients undergoing robotic beating heart co...
