Initial experience and favorable outcomes on cannulation strategies and surgical platform construction in fully video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery offers numerous advantages that patients and surgeons desire. This surgical platform encompasses cannulation strategies for cardiopulmonary bypass, optimal surgical access points, and high-quality visualization techniques. Traditional peripheral cannulation methods, though convenient, possess inherent limitations and carry the potential for complications such as retrograde dissection, stroke, or neurologic sequelae. Conversely, central cannulation may be ideally suited to circumvent the disadvantages above. Fully video-assisted thoracoscopy cardiac surgery represents a state-of-the-art platform, offering surgeons an unparalleled surgical view. This analysis aimed to delineate the efficacy and safety of transthoracic central cannulation
