Abstract

The video-assisted cardiac surgery includes extremely complex procedures such as myocardial revascularization and valve replacements, which are not exempt from easily preventable and treatable complications. In this article, the complications of video-assisted cardiac surgery, typical of patient positioning: respiratory, cardiovascular, surgical, infectious, among other complications, are discussed. The video-assisted cardiac surgery offers many advantages to the patient and involves a potential risk of avoidable complications. The development of these procedures is possible thanks to technological advances and the design of new anesthetic, ventilatory, pharmacologic and monitoring techniques.
