Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is increasingly popular due to its reduced invasiveness compared to traditional methods. A key component of MICS is the establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass, which is typically achieved by cannulating the groin. Traditionally, this process requires a second surgical incision to access the femoral vessels.
