Abstract
This study documents the application of a knot-pusher technique via a mini-thoracotomy with the traditional one-handed knot-tying rationale using an existing long-shaft knot-pushing device. This technique achieved the typical hand-tying precision and secured tight knots in minimally invasive cardiac surgery.Entities:
