Abstract
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery has progressed from small thoracotomies to endoscopic and robotic surgeries. Here we present a periareolar approach in patients with breast implants. This technique involves both cardiac and plastic surgeons in response to a more cosmetically conscious population along with the benefits of avoiding the sternum. In elective cases, myxoma removals, atrial septal defect closures, and mitral valve surgeries can be performed in patients with previous breast prosthesis using a periareolar technique.
期刊介绍:
Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery is the first journal whose main mission is to disseminate information specifically about advances in technology and techniques that lead to less invasive treatment of cardiothoracic and vascular disease. It delivers cutting edge original research, reviews, essays, case reports, and editorials from the pioneers and experts in the field of minimally invasive cardiothoracic and vascular disease, including biomedical engineers. Also included are papers presented at the annual ISMICS meeting. Official Journal of the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery
