Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: A Systematic Review

Abstract: In the recent years minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) has become a well-established and increasingly used option for managing patients with a mitral valve pathology. Nonetheless, whether the purported benefits of MIMVS translate into clinically important outcomes remains controversial. Therefore, in this paper we provide an overview of MIMVS and discuss results, morbidity, mortality, and quality of life following mitral minimally invasive procedures. MIMVS has been proven to be a feasible alterna… Show more

“…There is no evidence suggesting a significant difference in mortality between MIMVS and full‐sternotomy mitral valve surgery. Early mortality has been reported to be similar between the two groups and does not differ between observational and prospective data . In a study comparing 474 MIMVS patients to 337 full‐sternotomy mitral valve surgery patients, perioperative mortality was very low in both groups (0.2–0.3%) .…”

“…5 In addition, minimally invasive MV surgery has become a well-established and increasingly used option for managing patients with MV pathology. 6 Although surgery remains the gold standard treatment for significant MR, MV surgery is deferred in a large number of patients because of high surgical risk. 7 The decrease in the prevalence of rheumatic valve disease, in combination with an increased life expectancy, has led to a high prevalence of degenerative MR. As a consequence, patients are older and present with comorbidities that increase operative mortality and morbidity risks.…”
