The primary objective of the study is to prospectively analyse the occurrence of post-interventional internal vena jugularis (VJI) thrombi after minimally invasive cardiac surgery using a VJI cannula to perform cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The study follows the question whether the performance of a jugular cannulation for the operation under CPB regularly causes wall thromboses despite continuous anticoagulation and a short length of stay of a few hours. The thromboses to be assessed for the study will be obtained by bedside (Doppler) sonography by experienced intensive care physicians in the cardiac surgery intensive care unit. A prospective analysis of all minimal invasive procedures performed with regard to thrombi in the VJI.
