A Novel Low-Fidelity Simulator for both Mitral Valve and Tricuspid Valve Surgery: The Surgical Skills Trainer for Classic Open- and Minimally Invasive Techniques

The purpose of this study was to develop a low-fidelity, low-cost, reusable and portable simulation device, which could provide training in nearly the full range of mitral valve surgery techniques, in both the classic, open approach as well as the minimally invasive approach.

An Open Randomized Controlled Trial of Median Sternotomy Versus Anterolateral Left Thoracotomy on Morbidity and Health Care Resource Use in Patients Having Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: The Sternotomy Versus Thoracotomy (STET) trial

Our objective was to compare off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery carried out via a left anterolateral thoracotomy (ThoraCAB) or via a conventional median sternotomy (OPCAB).
