Objective To determine the frequency of survival, stroke, atrial fibrillation, structural valve
deterioration, and length of hospital stay after surgical replacement of an aortic valve (SAVR) …

Throughout the modern era of cardiac surgery, most operations have been performed via
median sternotomy with cardiopulmonary bypass. This paradigm is changing, however, as …

Objectives Ministernotomy and right anterior minithoracotomy are the 2 main techniques
applied for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement. The goal of this study is to compare …

Objective To report the early and mid-term results of patients who underwent minimally
invasive aortic valve replacement (MI-AVR) with a sutureless prosthesis from an …

Background This study describes the clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in a large
single-center cohort of patients who underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) with a …

Background The small incisions of minimally invasive surgery have the proposed benefit of
less surgical trauma, less pain, and faster recovery. This study was done to compare …

Objective To evaluate whether the outcomes of minimally invasive aortic valve surgery were
similar in younger versus older patient groups, as well as whether concomitant minimally …

Aortic valve replacement has stood the test of time but is no longer an operation that is
exclusively approached through a median sternotomy using only sutured prostheses …

del Nido cardioplegia (DC) offers prolonged cardiac protection with single-dose
administration and has been shown to be safe in adult CABG surgery. We set out to evaluate …

Objective Minimal access aortic valve replacement is associated with favorable clinical
outcomes; however, several meta-analyses have reported significantly longer crossclamp …
