Safety and Efficacy of the Transaxillary Access for Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Surgery
Conclusions: Transaxillary MICS-AVR is at least as safe as AVR by sternotomy and can be performed in the same time frame. Its advantages are fewer transfusions and quicker postoperative recovery with a significantly shorter hospital stay. The cosmetic result and unrestricted physical abilities due to the untouched sternum and ribs are unique advantages of transaxillary access.PMID:36676784 | PMC:PMC9860976 | DOI:10.3390/medicina59010160
