Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery without aortic cross-clamping and with femoral cannulation is not associated with increased risk of stroke compared with traditional mitral valve surgery: a propensity score-matched analysis ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS A minimally invasive approach for mitral valve surgery on a fibrillating heart was not associated with a greater incidence of stroke/TIA than was median sternotomy. When performed by highly experienced surgeons, the minimally invasive approach with fibrillatory arrest did not increase the risk of perioperative stroke.

Post-heart transplantation outcome of HeartMate II-bridged recipients requiring unplanned concomitant temporary right ventricular mechanical support
CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate that heart transplant recipients who required unplanned RV mechanical support after LVAD implantation achieved comparable rates of early graft loss, post-transplant renal failure and stroke rate in comparison with patients bridged with an isolated HeartMate II assist device. Three-year graft survival was equivalent between those two groups. Given the small sample size, further studies involving more patients are needed to support or challenge our conclusions.

Full sternotomy versus right anterior minithoracotomy for isolated aortic valve replacement in octogenarians: a propensity-matched study
CONCLUSIONS Minimally invasive AVR through right anterior minithoracotomy can be safely performed in patients aged ≥80 years with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. It is an expeditious and effective alternative to full sternotomy AVR and might be associated with lower postoperative stroke incidence, earlier extubation and shorter hospital stay.

Outcome of left ventricular surgical remodelling after the STICH trial ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that patients, who are candidates for LVSR, have mostly akinetic areas and CIMR requiring surgical correction and are severely symptomatic. Severe LVDD is common and, along with emergency status, is the most important risk factor for early and late outcome.

Minimally Invasive Approaches to Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement: A Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsMinimally invasive approaches to AVR yield excellent outcomes in high volume centers. They reduce hospital stay and incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation, and, therefore, should be considered in patients undergoing AVR. However, the operative approach should be selected according to surgeon’s technical expertise and what is best for specific patient profile.

Is a minimally invasive approach for resection of benign cardiac masses superior to standard full sternotomy?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was ‘is a minimally invasive approach for resection of benign cardiac masses superior to standard full sternotomy?’ A total of 50 papers were found using the reported search, of which, 11 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, country, journal, date of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. All 11 papers were retrospective studies, from which 4 were case–control studies comparing the minima...

Characterization of dysfunctional remote myocardium in left ventricular anterior aneurysms and improvements following surgical ventricular restoration using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging: preliminary results
CONCLUSIONS In patients with chronic ischaemic heart disease with LV aneurysms/large areas of scar, improvements in the remote myocardial MMV and WT underline LV systolic function improvements after SVR. The persistence of myocardial WT in early diastole is the likely mechanism for incomplete or absence of relief of LV diastolic dysfunction by SVR.

Maze surgery normalizes left ventricular function in patients with persistent lone atrial fibrillation ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS Within a dedicated AF centre, maze surgery grants excellent outcomes, with symptoms relief and negligible risk. It provides a complete reversal of arrhythmia-related myocardial dysfunction and is therefore a convenient alternative to His bundle ablation and lifelong pacemaker dependency in symptomatic refractory patients.

Conventional Versus Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement: Pooled Analysis of Propensity‐Matched Data
ConclusionMinimally invasive aortic valve replacement can be performed safely despite the longer ischemic time. While minimally invasive surgery does demonstrate some advantages in postoperative recovery, we failed to find any other substantial improvement in outcome over conventional aortic valve replacement.

The chimney technique for preserving the left subclavian artery in thoracic endovascular aortic repair AORTIC SURGERY
CONCLUSIONS Short- and mid-term results showed that it is feasible to preserve the patency of the LSA in TEVAR with the chimney technique for thoracic aortic pathologies close to the LSA. However, TEVAR combined with LSACSI was not advocated for lesions located at the outer curve of the aortic arch due to a high possibility of endoleak.
