Two cases of direct aortic transcatheter aortic valve implantation via anterior right Mini-thoracotomy after preoperative virtual reality-based simulation: a case report
The use of preoperative virtual reality simulation enabled the safe and precise execution of direct aortic transcatheter aortic valve implantation via anterior right mini-thoracotomy. Virtual reality technology is expected to have broader applications in cardiac surgery in the future.
