Joe Basha’s PerfWeb #87 — A simplified approach to mini mitral surgery: No clamp, no fib, just a-rest — Perfusion

A simplified approach to mini mitral surgery: No clamp, no fib, just a-rest. The use of Port Access is expensive and prolonged Ventricular Fibrillation is potentially damaging to the heart. We propose a simplified approach to minimally invasive mitral valve surgery that maintains coronary perfusion and provides a relaxed, quiet heart.
