Abstract Background Mortality after congenital heart surgery is an important metric across benchmarking, quality, and reporting initiatives. All rely on estimates from prior years, and how well these reflect current..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract A group of enthusiastic surgeons and engineers working together in Stanford introduced the idea of “port access” cardiac surgery in humans in 1995. Despite the initial enthusiasm from many surgical..
