– From small, to mini, to micro: it’s how technology evolves nowadays, and cardiac surgery is no exception
– When embracing technology, don’t forget to keep ethics in mind and be unbiased
– Keep an open mind and embrace new developments, but don’t forget to critically analyze the data and make your own logical conclusions

– Minimally invasive: much more than just a small cut
– Already achieved a low mortality rate? Set new goals for new targets related to patient quality of life.
– Always consider… Do you need to be cautious with the sternum? Is the patient obese? Are you an experienced surgeon? Don’t forget to perform an Angio CT scan.
Prof. Bart Meuris

-Cosmesis vs clinical benefit? Cross-clamp times? Extra costs? Have you thought about these aspects before?
-What about less pain? Less blood loss? Shorter ICU stays? Lower rates of atrial fibrillation? Remember, there are always pros and cons.
-If combined procedures are necessary, minimally invasive can be a choice in experienced centers
