Outcomes of Less Invasive J-Incision Approach to Aortic Valve Surgery

Within that portion of the spectrum of isolated aortic valve surgery where propensity matching was possible, minimally invasive aortic valve surgery had not only cosmetic advantages, but blood product use, respiratory, pain, and resource utilization advantages over full sternotomy, and no apparent detriments.

Contamination of Anaesthetic Gases With Nitric Oxide and its Influence on Oxygenation: Study in Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgery
