Importance: Traditionally, heart transplantation surgery requires a median sternotomy due to the perceived complexity of a large organ replacement. Whether an alternative minimally invasive approach to perform a successful heart transplant can be accomplished remains uncertain.
Objective: To develop a safe and effective technique for totally robotic heart transplantation DESIGN: Using a multidisciplinary team, technical timed training using the robot-assisted approach was accomplished on multiple cadavers.
