Vince W. Tobin gives an overview of robotic mirtal valve surgery at the Cleveland Clinic (51 minutes).
This study seeks to quantify the relationship between surgical volume and surgical performance defined as the relation between outcome and Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Congenital Heart Surgery (STAT) Mortality Score and The Society of ThoracicSurgeons (STS) Morbidity Score.
Goal-directed optimisation of cerebral oxygenation using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during cardiopulmonary bypass is widely used. We tested the hypotheses that the use of NIRS cerebral oximetry results in reductions in cerebral injury (neurocognitive function, serum biomarkers), injury to other organs including the heart and brain, transfusion rates, mortality and resource use.
