TL;DR: Robotic TECAB was accomplished with no mortality, low morbidity, and angiographic patency and reintervention rates comparable with published data, and represents a step toward more advanced procedures, such as multivessel or off-pump T ECAB.

TL;DR: Integrated revascularization treatment plans provide minimally invasive options for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease with no mortality, low perioperative morbidity, and excellent angiographic LIMA patency.

TL;DR: Five-year follow-up of prospectively randomized, no-option class IV angina patients demonstrated significantly increased Kaplan-Meier survival in patients randomized to transmyocardial revascularization.

TL;DR: Current best practices in patient evaluation and selection for minimally invasive mitral valve procedures are outlined, and preoperative planning for cannulation and myocardial protection is discussed.

TL;DR: Five-year follow-up of prospectively randomized patients who would be incompletely revascularized because of diffuse coronary artery disease indicates that the addition of TMR to conventional CABG provides superior angina relief compared to CABg alone.
