Basic Data From 176 Studies on the Immediate Outcome After Aortic Valve Replacement With or Without Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
The aim of this study was to summarize the immediate outcome after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with or without coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Current Concepts for Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair
The excellent results of minimally invasive mitral valve repair must be considered whenever already available or any new transcatheter techniques are offered.
Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Reconstruction on the Fibrillating Heart for High-Risk Patients
Mitral valve surgery after previous cardiac surgery is technically demanding and risky. In patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), mitral valve surgery is associated with a high risk of injury to the bypass graft with concomitant myocardial ischemia.
Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Procedures: The Current State
In this paper, the authors attempt to focus on the evolution, techniques, results, and the future perspective of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS).
Retrograde Femoral Arterial Perfusion and Stroke Risk During Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: Is There Cause for Concern
Recent data have suggested that retrograde arterial perfusion (RAP) during minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) is associated with a higher stroke rate than sternotomy approaches.
