Percutaneous cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass in robotic mitral valve surgery with zero groin complications

Murat Bastopcu et al.

Summary: The use of total percutaneous bypass for robotic mitral valve surgery is a minimally invasive method to establish extracorporeal circulation, showing potential for excellent results and avoiding complications such as infection, hematoma, or pseudoaneurysm at puncture sites. In our study, patients did not experience late wound infections, hematomas, pseudoaneurysms, limb ischemia, or claudication during follow-up.

Robotic Cardiac Surgery in Europe: Status 2020

Stepan Cerny et al.

Summary: This study assessed the current activities and outcomes of robotically assisted cardiac surgery in Europe. The results showed a significant increase in the number of procedures over the study period, with a wide range of surgical types being performed. The conversion rate to larger incisions was low and the clinical outcomes were favorable, indicating the safe conduct of these high-tech minimally invasive procedures.

Comparison of postoperative outcomes between robotic mitral valve replacement and conventional mitral valve replacement

Huseyin Sicim et al.

Summary: Robotic mitral valve replacement is an effective and reliable method compared to conventional mitral valve replacement, with shorter ventilation time, intensive care, and hospital stay time, yet longer total perfusion and cross-clamp times, lower drainage amount and blood transfusion need.

Robotic-assisted cardiac surgery without aortic cross-clamping: A safe alternative approach

Ahmet Umit Gullu et al.

Summary: This study examined the safety and effectiveness of robotic-assisted cardiac surgery without aortic cross-clamping in patients with severe aortic calcification or mediastinal adhesions. The results showed that this approach can provide reasonable outcomes and may encourage surgeons to perform this technique in appropriate patient populations.
