DOI: 10.1007/s11748-021-01622-4
Abstract: Left ventricular thrombus is life-threatening when it causes systemic embolization. In cases with a high risk of systemic embolization, left ventricular thrombectomy is recommended. However, the optimal surgical approach is unclear, especially for non-ischemic cardiomyopathy,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-67018-5
Abstract: Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a critical procedure for patients with aortic valve diseases. This study compares the effectiveness of three minimally-invasive surgical approaches for AVR: totally thoracoscopic (TT), right anterior mini-thoracotomy, and upper mini-sternotomy.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2022.05.007
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Controlling moderate-to-severe pain remains a major challenge after cardiothoracic surgery. Several outcomes have been compared extensively after valve surgery performed via midline sternotomy versus mini-thoracotomy, but postoperative pain (POP) was not adequately examined. Therefore,… read more here.
