Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: An Update

Abstract: Abstract:Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) was introduced in the mid-1990s to refer to a variety of surgical techniques that avoid full sternotomy through smaller or alternative chest wall incisions, as an attempt to reduce complications, but at the same time preserve outcomes of the full sternotomy approach. In this review, different aspects of MIMVS are discussed in relation to its approaches (right parasternal incision, lower ministernotomy, right anterolateral minithoracotomy and left posteri… Show more

“…These techniques should be as safe and effective as the standard approach and allow both valve replacement and repair. 4 Several minimally invasive approaches are used for isolated mitral valve surgery like lower or upper mini-sternotomy, right parasternal incision, and right mini-thoracotomy 5 as well as for isolated aortic valve surgery like upper ministernotomy and right mini-thoracotomy. 6 Nevertheless, since it is the fate of cardiac surgeons to compete with less invasive interventional procedures and try steadily to push their limits in minimally invasive surgical techniques; therefore, surgeons are now asked to find a minimally invasive technique to deal with both aortic and mitral valve pathologies concomitantly through a minimally invasive approach.…”
