In robotic cardiac surgery, many knot ties must be made with a knot pusher by the patient's side surgeon. However, knot-pusher ties are characterized by weak attachment pressure. Therefore, we decided to use the Cor-knot automated fastener (LSI Solutions) to achieve hemostasis at the antegrade cardioplegia cannulation site. This technique allowed us to obtain speedy and reliable hemostasis at the antegrade cardioplegia cannulation site in robotic cardiac surgery.
