摘要: A renaissance in cardiac surgery is occurring. Cardiac operations are being performed through smaller incisions with enhanced technological assistance. Specifically, minimally invasive mitral valve has become standard for many surgeons. At our institution, we have developed a robotic program the da Vinci™telemanipulation system, which recently gained FDA-approval. Initial results reported. Despite procedural success, implementation of new technology requires restructuring training programs and re-training senior Ultimately, desire improved less traumatic patient care will continue to drive this into future.
