Summary
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) offers a viable option for patients with multiple myeloma (MM), a condition posing significant surgical risks. This approach may reduce complications in patients with MM undergoing aortic valve replacement.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Oncology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy associated with poor prognosis.
- Cardiac surgery in MM patients presents challenges including bleeding, altered viscosity, and immunocompromise.
- Few studies report cardiac surgery outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma.
