Minimally Invasive CABG
This commentary succinctly reviews the 2021 coronary revascularization and the 2023 chronic coronary disease guidelines with relation to use of PCI and CABG in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and ejection fraction (EF) less than or...
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) frequently requires peripheral cannulation strategies. Femoral cannulation remains the standard approach; however, it is associated with potential complications such as lymphorrhea, hematoma, infection, and an...
This study on patients undergoing open valve surgeries revelated that Cor-Knot fasteners reduced surgery times compared to manual tying in aortic valve replacements and valve surgeries with coronary artery bypass...
