Integrate imaging approach for minimally invasive and robotic procedures.

Integrate imaging approach for minimally invasive and robotic procedures. J Thorac Dis. 2017 Apr;9(Suppl 4):S264-S270 Authors: Ivanov NA, Green DB, Guy TS Abstract Over the past two decades, robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgery has been continuously refined and is currently an alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for some patients. The parallel evolution of imaging modalities has made robotic surgery safer and more efficient. Here, we review the pre- and post-operative use of computed tomography (CT) in minimally invasive and robotic cardiac procedures. PMID: 28540069 [PubMed - in process]
