We describe the use of the Sapien XT, placed in the mitral position using a totally endoscopic robotic approach in a 76-year-old man with extensive circumferential mitral calcifications and severe stenosis. The patient was at high risk for traditiona...
Exposure of the mitral valve can be challenging using conventional sternotomy and thoracotomy incisions in patients with pectus deformity. We report the use of a robotic approach to replace a rheumatic mitral valve in a patient with pectus excavatum....
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...
BACKGROUND: The role of robotic instruments in mitral valve (MV) surgery continues to evolve. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, efficacy, and scope of MV surgery using a lateral endoscopic approach with robotics (LEAR) technique.

AIMS: Although several treatment options are available for patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR), a significant proportion of patients remain ineligible for any mitral valve (MV) intervention. We aimed to analyse the phenotypic characteristi...
: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent and severe complication following cardiac surgery, particularly in high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and aortic valve replacement (AVR). Despite extensive research, predi...
Available classification tools and risk factors predicting bleeding events in elderly patients after mechanical valve replacement may not be suitable in Asian populations. Thus, we aimed to identify an accurate model for predicting bleeding in elderl...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common heart valve malformation, and it may be associated with the development of long-term complications, such as aortic stenosis (AS) secondary to valvular calcification and aortic insufficiency (AI), with or...
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to build a patient-patient similarity network using multiple features of left ventricular (LV) structure and function in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). The study further validated the observations in an experimental...
