Intermountain Medical Center (IMC) and Microplegia: An Overview of Myocardial Protection Complications and Historical Look At One Center’s Experience With a Better Modality (EP Video)

The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome of emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations using either minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) or conventional extracorporeal circulation (CECC) in patients requiring emergency CABG with regard to the perioperative course and the occurrence of major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE).

Robotic mitral valve repair has been successfully performed since the late 1990s, but concomitant robotic tricuspid repair has not yet been widely adopted. We report our first 5 years' experience with concomitant robotic mitral-tricuspid valve repair.
