Minimally invasive paediatric cardiac surgery
Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2013The concept of minimally invasive surgery for congenital heart disease in paediatric patients is broad, and has the aim of reducing the trauma of the operation at each stage of management. Firstly, in the operating room using minimally invasive incisions, video-assisted thoracoscopic and robotically assisted surgery, hybrid procedures, image-guided ...

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery
Surgical Endoscopy, 2006Cardiac surgery has been the last of the surgical specialties to embrace the principles of minimal invasiveness. The complexity and invasiveness of the procedures have presented both a problem and an opportunity to make the procedures less invasive.

On the Horizon: Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 1998The landscape of cardiac surgery is changing. Advances in endoscopic and other instrumentation procedures such as port access, video instrumentation, and computer-assisted technology are opening new vistas for cardiac surgery. On the immediate horizon is minimally invasive cardiac surgery, also known as keyhole surgery.

Anaesthesia for minimally invasive cardiac surgery
Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2002Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is used for both extracardiac and intracardiac procedures. Extracardiac procedures, such as coronary artery bypass grafting, are often performed on a beating heart. Intracardiac procedures are done with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass. The surgery is performed via a minithoracotomy or a ministernotomy. Thoracoscopic

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2009Recently, interest in minimally invasive cardiac surgery has grown exponentially among both cardiac surgeons and their patients. This shift from traditional techniques can be attributed to expanding surgical technical capabilities, excellent clinical results, and expanding communication.

Minimally invasive pediatric cardiac surgery
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1998Minimally invasive cardiac surgery has evolved in response to the intrinsic irony facing cardiac surgeons: that we must injure our patients to treat them. In recent years, advances in fiberoptic imaging technology, applied to other surgical specialties, suggested the possibility that cardiac surgery might also be performed endoscopically.

What Is Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery?
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1998Most patient concerns and demands for less invasive surgery are focused on comfort, cosmesis, and rehabilitation that are all related to the degree of invasiveness. The degree of invasiveness of cardiac surgery depends on two factors: the surgical approach--the length of the skin incision, the degree of retraction and aggression to the tissue, and the ...

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
2017Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) refers to a broad group of operations designed to reduce surgical trauma and facilitate postoperative recovery. MICS approaches include partial sternotomy, lateral mini-thoracotomy, robotic, and subxiphoid or subdiaphragmatic access.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Valve Surgery
Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 1998With the recent advancement and experience in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery in selected patients, minimally invasive valve surgery using similar techniques is promising. Coupled with the movement in cardiac surgery to decrease costs, hospital lengths of stay and recovery time, minimally invasive techniques for both mitral and aortic
