Robotically Assisted, Minimally Invasive Ascending Aortic Replacement: A Feasibility Study in Anatomical Models
Robotic replacement of the ascending aorta is technically feasible in anatomical models with reasonable anastomotic times, which may be suitable for the clinical setting. Robotic suturing on the ascending aorta can be performed with accuracy and efficiency.
