To compare outcomes of mitral valve surgery through conventional left atriotomy and
transeptal approach (TS). Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta …

Objective: To examine the current literature behind the evolution of mitral valve surgery
techniques and their impact on patient outcomes. Methods: An electronic literature search …

Objectives This study aims to investigate the occurrence, type and correlation of early and
late atrial arrhythmias following mitral valve repair in patients with no preoperative history of …

Objective The mitral valve may be accessed directly through the left atrium but visualisation
can sometimes be challenging. A trans-septal interatrial approach provides better exposure …

A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The
question addressed was whether there was a difference in postoperative outcomes [namely …

Methods This study focused on single-centre retrospective analysis of 10 years of activity.
Case–control 1-to-9 matching was performed for 7 pre-operative and 2 intraoperative …

Background: Achieving optimal exposure of the mitral valve during surgical intervention
poses a significant challenge. This study aimed to compare perioperative and postoperative …

Cardiac arrhythmias and requirement for permanent pacemaker (PPM) post open-heart
surgery are some of the complications that can contribute to significant morbidities …

Surgical exposure to access mitral valve has been performed through various chambers in
the heart like left atrium, right atrium and trans septal approach, through ascending aorta …

OBJECTIVES Concerns exist about higher rates of pacemaker implantation using the
extended superior transseptal approach for mitral valve surgery. This study aims to compare …
