Abstract
Background/Objectives: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is often avoided in patients with obesity due to exposure and surgical access concerns. Nonetheless, these patients have elevated periprocedural risks. Minimally invasive transaxillary aortic valve surgery offers a sternum-sparing “nearly no visible scar” alternative to the traditional full sternotomy. This study evaluated the clinical outcomes of patients with obesity compared to a propensity score-matched full sternotomy cohort. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 1086 patients with obesity (body mass index [BMI] of >30 kg/m2) undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement from 2014 to 2023. Two hundred consecutive patients who received transaxillary minimally invasive cardiac lateral surgery (MICLAT-S) served as a treatment group, while a control group was generated via 1:1 propensity score matching from 886 patients who underwent full sternotomy. The final sample comprised 400 patients in both groups. Outcomes included major adverse cardio-cerebral events, mortality, and postoperative complications. Results: After matching, the clinical baselines were comparable. The mean BMI was 34.4 ± 4.0 kg/m2 (median: 33.9, range: 31.0–64.0). Despite the significantly longer skin-to-skin time (135.0 ± 37.7 vs. 119.0 ± 33.8 min; p ≤ 0.001), cardiopulmonary bypass time (69.1 ± 19.1 vs. 56.1 ± 21.4 min; p ≤ 0.001), and aortic cross-clamp time (44.0 ± 13.4 vs. 41.9 ± 13.3 min; p = 0.044), the MICLAT-S group showed a shorter hospital stay (9.71 ± 6.19 vs. 12.4 ± 7.13 days; p ≤ 0.001), lower transfusion requirements (0.54 ± 1.67 vs. 5.17 ± 9.38 units; p ≤ 0.001), reduced postoperative wound healing issues (5.0% vs. 12.0%; p = 0.012), and a lower 30-day mortality rate (1.5% vs. 6.0%; p = 0.031). Conclusions: MICLAT-S is safe and effective. Compared to traditional sternotomy in patients with obesity, MICLAT-S improves survival, reduces postoperative morbidity, and shortens hospital stays.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
