SUMMARY: MINIMALLY INVASIVE VIDEO – ASSISTED CARDIAC SURGERY IN CARDIOVASCULAR CENTRE – E HOSPITAL: THE INITIAL EXPERIENCE WITH 63 PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the feasibility and safety of video – assisted minimally invasive surgical methods in cardiac surgery.
Patients and methods: From 5/2013 to 4/2014: 63 conscutive patients have been operated (ASD closure, mitral valve replacement, mitral valve repair, partial AVSD repair, pulmonary valve repair, left atrial myxoma, left artrial membrane resection, CABG).
Results: There were 60 patients of success, 3 cases of failure: 2 patients were enlarged chest incision, 1 patient required to converse to sternotomy because of bleeding; 1 case reoperated because of pneumothorax. There didn’t have any hospital death, no major complication.
Conclusion: video – assisted minimally invasive surgical methods in cardiac surgery is feasible and safe. This procedure can be performed with advantages.
