Summary

This study looks at how the right side of the heart copes after major lung surgery. Researchers will compare minimally invasive methods (VATS and robotic surgery) with traditional open surgery in 100 patients with heart or lung problems. The goal is to see which approach puts less strain on the heart, potentially reducing complications.
