This video demonstrates the harvest of bilateral internal mammary arteries using a robotic system developed in India (SSi MANTRA) through ports placed in the left hemithorax.

While treatment of classic septal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is well established, the treatment for long segment subaortic variant and apical hypertrophy variants are less clearly defined.

Determining the appropriate prosthetic for mitral valve replacement is an ongoing area of study. This article looked at trends at a single center over a period of 20 years and compared the use of biologic (1,658 patients) and mechanical valves (369 patients).

Treatment of aortic stenosis due to a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), requires a lifetime strategy due to structural valve degeneration that necessitates redo intervention, such as surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
August 8, 2024
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has surpassed surgical aortic valve replacements in volume since TAVR is now approved for patients of all surgical risk categories. This article evaluated trainees and program directors to assess current training patterns and comfort levels regarding catheter-based interventions.

This video demonstrates robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass to the left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries, which was then followed by percutaneous coronary intervention to the right coronary artery (advanced hybrid coronary revascularization) in a patient with triple vessel disease.
August 7, 2024
This video demonstrates robotic-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery) for single vessel disease using a nonrib spreading approach.
August 6, 2024
This video demonstrates the harvest of both right and left internal mammary arteries using the Da Vinci robotic system. Ports are placed on the left side of the chest, which are then used as an in-situ graft through.
August 5, 2024
This video demonstrates a robotic-assisted harvest of bilateral internal mammary arteries to enable total arterial revascularization for multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
