To Cut (Minimally Invasively) Is to Cure: Robotic Lobectomy for Pulmonary Mucormycosis.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

December 2024

Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rapidly progressive and highly morbid disease commonly found in immunosuppressed patients. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential, with thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery techniques previously described for surgical resection of infected lobes. Here we present the case of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia and nonresolving pneumonia treated with robotic left upper lobectomy.

Hybrid Setting for Minimally Invasive Mitral Surgery in Patients With Inferior Vena Caval Filters.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

December 2024

Division of Cardiac Surgery, City of Health and Science (Città della Salute e della Scienza) and Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy.

Current cardiac surgery has evolved to include hybrid and minimally invasive settings. In parallel, less invasive techniques have been extended to complex clinical scenarios and may prove even more beneficial in higher-risk patients. However, comorbidities and challenging anatomy still represent limitations to widespread application of this philosophy.

Magnetic Ball Chain Robots for Cardiac Arrhythmia Treatment.

IEEE Trans Med Robot Bionics

November 2024

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.

This paper introduces a novel magnetic navigation system for cardiac ablation. The system is formed from two key elements: a magnetic ablation catheter consisting of a chain of spherical permanent magnets; and an actuation system comprised of two cart-mounted permanent magnets undergoing pure rotation. The catheter design enables a large magnetic content with the goal of minimizing the footprint of the actuation system for easier integration with the clinical workflow.
