Abstract
usage (3.5±1.0 vs. 1.7±2.1; p≤ 0.03) which is also below the STS reported national average use. Conclusion: The results suggest significant reduction in resource utilization (i.e. less length of hospital stay, blood product use) following robotic versus traditional sternotomy for LVAD implantation. If validated by our ongoing experience with this procedure, robotic assistance may improve the safety and cost effectiveness of LVAD surgery and minimize blood product use in bridge-to-transplant patients.
