“…Our first description of the transxiphoid approach, dated 1999 [7], delineated an extra-rib cage access to the thorax. We chose the term "transxiphoid," already widely employed in cardiac surgery [18], because we found the removal of this appendix extremely advantageous to facilitate hand insertion into the thorax with a marginal discomfort for patient and surgeon.…”

“…Minimally invasive surgery and off-pump CABG are important factors in the decrease of mediastinitis events because both surgeries reduce surgical trauma and provide a faster patient recovery [10,11]. The use of more efficient antibiotics has also been described as an important factor to control mediastinitis.…”

“…With the introduction of these advances, cosmetic and functional satisfaction with surgical outcomes have become more important. [1] To date, many different techniques have been described for cosmetic concerns such as full sternotomy with limited skin incision, [2] right anterolateral thoracotomy, [3,4] posterolateral thoracotomy, [5] robotic procedures, [6] a trans-xiphoid approach without a sternotomy [7] or different portaccess cardiac surgery. [8] Although cannulation of the femoral artery is the preferred method, ascending aortic cannulation is more advantageous due to the safety and cosmesis.…”
