Percutaneous atrioseptostomy for right heart failure after left pneumonectomy.

30 Oct 2009 We present a case of right heart failure after left pneumonectomy as a result of an isolated, contralateral partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. We successfully treated this with percutaneous atrioseptostomy. For unstable patients with ... Read more...

Successful transapical aortic valve replacement in a patient with a previous mechanical mitral valve replacement.

30 Oct 2009 In this case we illustrate our experience with transapical minimal invasive aortic valve replacement in a patient who previously underwent mitral valve replacement. The implantation did not interfere with the existing prosthesis and could even be ... Read more...

A new approach for reconstruction of a severely atrophic mandible.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to report a case of a patient with a severely atrophic mandible (less than 5 mm) who was treated without bone graft using short implants and internal rigid fixation. PATIENT AND METHODS: A 61-year-old woman was ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Surgical Procedures, Minimally Invasive'

Definition: Procedures that avoid use of open invasive surgery in favor of closed or local surgery. These generally involve use of laparoscopic devices and remote-control manipulation of instruments with indirect observation of the surgical field through an endoscope or similar device. With the reduced trauma associated with minimally invasive surgery, long hospital stays may be reduced with increased rates of short stay or day surgery.
