    BackgroundEuropean surgeons were the first worldwide to use robotic techniques in cardiac surgery and major steps in procedure development were taken in Europe. After a hype in the early 2000s case numbers decreased but due to technological improvements renewed interest can be noted. We assessed the current activities and outcomes in robotically assisted cardiac surgery on the European continent. MethodsData were collected in an international anonymized registry of 26 European centers with a robotic cardiac surgery program. ResultsDuring a 4-year period (2016-2019), 2,563 procedures were carried out {[}30.0\% female, 58.5 (15.4) years old, EuroSCORE II 1.56 (1.74)], including robotically assisted coronary bypass grafting (n = 1266, 49.4\%), robotic mitral or tricuspid valve surgery (n = 945, 36.9\%), isolated atrial septal defect closure (n = 225, 8.8\%), left atrial myxoma resection (n = 54, 2.1\%), and other procedures (n = 73, 2.8\%). The number of procedures doubled during the study period (from n = 435 in 2016 to n = 923 in 2019). The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time in pump assisted cases was 148.6 (63.5) min and the myocardial ischemic time was 88.7 (46.1) min. Conversion to larger thoracic incisions was required in 56 cases (2.2\%). Perioperative rates of revision for bleeding, stroke, and mortality were 56 (2.2\%), 6 (0.2 \%), and 27 (1.1\%), respectively. Median postoperative hospital length of stay was 6.6 (6.6) days. ConclusionRobotic cardiac surgery case numbers in Europe are growing fast, including a large spectrum of procedures. Conversion rates are low and clinical outcomes are favorable, indicating safe conduct of these high-tech minimally invasive procedures.

    The effect of proximal anastomosis on the expansion rate of a dilated ascending aorta in coronary artery bypass surgery: a prospective study
    (CLINICS CARDIVE PUBL PTY LTD, 2017-01-01) Balci, Ahmet Yavuz; Vural, Unsal; Aksoy, Rezan; Ozdemir, M. D. Fatih; Satilmis, Seckin; Kizilay, Mehmet; Senocak, Mutlu; Saskin, Huseyin; Kayacioglu, Ilyas; Yekeler, Ibrahim
    Background: This study was designed to determine the short-and long-term effects of proximal aortic anastomosis, performed during isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with dilatation of the ascending aorta who did not require surgical intervention. Methods: The study was performed on 192 (38 female and 160 male patients

    Effects of Alprazolam and Melatonin Used for Premedication on Oxidative Stress, Glicocalyx Integrity and Neurocognitive Functions
    (AVES, 2018-01-01) Can, Meltem Guner; Ulugol, Halim; Gunes, Isin; Aksu, Ugur; Tosun, Melis; Karduz, Gulsum; Vardar, Kubra; Toraman, Fevzi
    Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to compare the effect of alprazolam and melatonin on oxidative stress, glicocalyx integrity and neurocognitive function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: Overall, 42 patients undergoing CABG were retrospectively included in this study. Blood samples which preserved at -70 degrees C for a previous study were used for this study. The participants were divided into two groups. Patients in the Group A were administered alprazolam before the operation, whereas melatonin was used for premedication in the Group M. Blood samples were collected at three time points {[}T0: before anaesthesia induction, T1: admittance to intensive care unit (ICU), T2: 24 h after ICU admission], and oxidative stress parameters and glicocalyx integrity were evaluated. Furthermore, Mini-Mental State Examination was recorded to measure neurocognitive function. Results: The total thiol levels which were measured as an antioxidant parameter were significantly higher, and free Hb values were significantly lower in the Group M compared to the Group A (p<0.05). No significant differences were found in order to oxidative stress parameter levels, extubation time, length of hospital stay, durations of cross-clamp, cardiopulmonary bypass and operation and Mini-Mental State Examination results between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: In light of positive effects on oxidatif stress parameters, melatonin may be considered as a good and safe premedication agent with its anxiolytic, antioxidant and minimal haemodynamic and respiratory effects.
