Robotic mitral valve surgery [PDF]
The American Journal of Surgery, 2004 Currently, cardiac surgery is an evolving field. Not only has there been a technological explosion, but there also is a strong interest in minimally invasive operations. Mitral valve surgery can now be performed with the use of sophisticated robotic systems through small incisions.

Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research, 2014 Cardiac valve surgery is life saving for many patients. The advent of minimally invasive surgical techniques has historically allowed for improvement in both postoperative convalescence and important clinical outcomes. The development of minimally invasive cardiac valve repair and replacement surgery over the past decade is poised to revolutionize the ...

Left atrial anomalous muscular band as incidental finding during video-assisted mitral surgery [PDF]
, 2018 Congenital fibromuscular bands have been described inleft ventricle or right atrium and have been diagnosed by echocardiography and CT scan. The first report of anomalous band in the left atrium was described in 1897 by Rollestone (1).
