This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with James Cox, Professor of Cardiac Surgery at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and Patrick McCarthy, Executive Director...
This study evaluated the Autonomous Blood Drawing Optimization and Performance Testing (ADOPT) trial, which assessed the performance, safety, and patient experience of an autonomous robotic phlebotomy device (ARPD) utilizing multimodal...
This single-center retrospective study examined 418 intent-to-treat hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) patients undergoing robotic beating-heart totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) from 2013 to 2025, comparing those who completed planned...
The patient was a 67-year-old man who was referred for surgical revascularization of coronary artery disease. Three months earlier, he had undergone emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the right...
This article explores the pathways for and challenges and implications of integrating artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled humanoid robotic systems, or embodied AI, into operating rooms (ORs). While AI is being integrated...
To wrap up the CTSNet Guest Editor Series, “Robotic-Assisted Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery—Techniques and Procedures,” Guest Editor Dr. M. M. Yusuf was joined by his colleagues to discuss each...
In the era of advancing structural heart procedures and increasing percutaneous interventions, minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a must-learn for current and aspiring surgeons. It can...
In this article, the authors demonstrate a novel technique of antegrade cardioplegia decannulation using the Cor-Knot system with phenomenal video and description on their case series. This technique has great...
Filmed at the 2018 STS Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, John Puskas of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, New York, USA, moderates...
In this video, the authors present their approach for identifying the left anterior descending artery (LAD) target in minimally invasive robot-assisted CABG. They start with the robotic take down of...
Bob Kiaii of the London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario, Canada, presents a discussion on long-term experience with robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting. He discusses his initial experience with robotic-assisted...
Robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) surgery using the da Vinci surgical robot is an excellent way to provide high quality, minimally invasive coronary reperfusion to a patient who...
In this STS-sponsored webinar, an expert panel of speakers presents on a broad spectrum of issues regarding readmission following cardiac surgery in general, and coronary bypass surgery in particular. Gaetano...
