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.

A 33-year-old woman who had previously undergone mitral valve repair for native valve endocarditis presented with a submitral left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, with related mitral valve dysfunction. The operative approach to this complex pathophysiologic process is presented.

Although animals can reliably locate and recognize odorants embedded in complex environments, the neural circuits for accomplishing these tasks remain incompletely understood. Adaptation is likely to be important as it could allow neurons in a brain area to adjust to the broader sensory environment. Adaptive processes must be flexible enough to allow the brain to make dynamic adjustments, while maintaining sufficient stability so that organisms do not forget important olfactory associations.

Purpose Of Review: Over the past 25 years, robotic-assisted mitral valve surgery has gained significant recognition because of its potential to minimize patient trauma and improve clinical outcomes. This field has evolved from early efforts in minimally invasive mitral procedures to more refined and technically sophisticated approaches, driven by the need for smaller incisions and reduced recovery times.
Recent Findings: This review will delve into the historical evolution of robotic-assisted mitral valve surgery, detailing the technical advancements that have shaped current practices and outlining the essential training pathways for a career as robotic mitral valve surgeon.

Objective: To develop a model for preoperatively predicting postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) in patients with poor left ventricular (LV) function undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: From the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Database, 11,493 patients with LV ejection fraction ≤35% underwent isolated on-pump surgery from 2018 through 2019, of whom 3428 experienced PCCS. In total, 68 preoperative clinical variables were considered in machine-learning algorithms trained and optimized using scikit-learn software.
