Single‐Incision Anterolateral Thoracotomy for <scp>LVAD</scp> Implantation: A Novel Minimally Invasive Approach
A novel single-incision anterolateral thoracotomy technique enables complete HeartMate 3 implantation without sternotomy, minimizing surgical trauma and accelerating recovery. This minimally invasive approach is feasible, safe, and may represent a new standard in advanced heart failure surgery.
