Initial experience with minimally invasive cardiac operations
CONCLUSIONS: Our initial results with minimally invasive operations demonstrated that it was safe and with good clinical results. Patient satisfaction is quite high. After the learning phase has been transversed, minimally invasive operations may be an excellent alternative for many patients with congenital and acquired diseases.

Minimally invasive tricuspid valve surgery in patients at high risk
Conclusions: The heart-port–based minimally invasive approach seems to be safe, feasible, and reproducible in case of tricuspid valve operations. It ensures low perioperative morbidity, moderate to low rates of tricuspid regurgitation recurrence, and low late mortality. It also seems to have an added value in case of reoperative procedures.

Aortopulmonary Window and the Interrupted Aortic Arch: Midterm Results With Use of the Single-Patch Technique
Conclusions Primary anatomic repair of APW associated with IAA can be safely performed. The efficiency of the single-patch technique was confirmed by the restoration of normal functional anatomy of the great arteries and aortic arch during follow-up.

The Role of Computed Tomography Angiography in Patients Undergoing Evaluation for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: An Early Program Experience
Conclusions: Computed tomography angiography is of fundamental importance in evaluating patients for MICS. It can identify calcified regions that make for threatening catheter passage with subsequent retrograde arterial perfusion. Abnormalities of the arterial tree are identified. The use of CTA-guided patient selection can thus avoid major perioperative complications.
