Population
40 patients undergoing isolated aortic valve surgery
Comparison
Minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation vs Conventional extracorporeal systems (CECC)
Design

MiECC linked to fewer transfusions but no mortality or stay differences in small retrospective AVR cohort; leaves open need for powered long-term trials.
Does minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation improve mortality, hospital stay, and inflammation compared to conventional extracorporeal systems in patients undergoing isolated aortic valve surgery?
Minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation reduces blood product requirements but does not significantly alter mortality, hospital stay, or inflammation compared to conventional circuits in aortic valve surgery.
