An Observational Cohort Study to Investigate Patient-centered and Clinical Outcomes After Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Minimally invasive cardiac surgery for Cardiac Disease and Surgery. Completed, enrolled 209 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Nowadays, minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery techniques are being performed to treat patients with coronary heart diseases. These newly developed procedures include laparoscopic techniques that do not require median sternotomy, which has several beneficial effects for both patient and the hospital. Although retrospective data show promising results with respect to clinical outcomes (e.g. 30-day mortality rate, intensive care unit length of stay), no prospective data with respect to patient centered outcomes (e.g. quality of recovery, quality of life) are available yet. Therefore, the aim of this observational prospective study is to explore several patient centered and clinical outcomes of patients that are treated with these newly developed minimally invasive cardiac procedures. The comparative group consists of patients undergoing open CABG (invasive) and patients undergoing a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI).
