“…In the past, our group has published a similar technique for isolated PV replacement through LAMT. 11 We believe minimally invasive LAMT with percutaneous peripheral CPB is a safe and feasible technique for PV and PA pathologies.…”

The purpose in this case was to repair a less invasive approach than a standard sternotomy. Workup of asymptomatic patient with computerized tomography scan of chest revealed pulmonary artery aneurysm and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated flow stagnation in aneurysm. An alternative minimally invasive approach was performed to repair the pulmonary artery aneurysm with plication through a left anterior minithoracotomy using normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass with percutaneous peripheral cannulation, instead of median sternotomy. Post-repair transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated normal flow in the pulmonary artery. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was seen in the outpatient clinic with excellent recovery. Minimally invasive repair of pulmonary artery aneurysm through a left anterior minithoracotomy is a feasible alternative approach. Minimally invasive repair of pulmonary artery aneurysm through a left anterior minithoracotomy is a feasible alternative approach.

“…A few variations in the theme of limited thoracotomy approach for PVR have been described in the literature. 1,[4][5][6] Henaine et al reported PVR through a left anterolateral thoracotomy in a patient who had a dilated ascending aorta that was adherent to the sternum. Pulmonary valve replacement using mini-thoracotomy approach through the second intercostal space was reported by Cheema et al but in a primary case of infective endocarditis of the pulmonary valve.…”

“…Pulmonary valve replacement using mini-thoracotomy approach through the second intercostal space was reported by Cheema et al but in a primary case of infective endocarditis of the pulmonary valve. 4 Barnard and associates performed PVR using a left anterolateral thoracotomy incision in the fourth intercostal space in a patient with multiple previous sternotomies. The patient presented numerous challenges, including adherence of the RA to the back of the sternum and severe pectus excavatum deformity.…”

“…Regarding the approach, the patient was at high risk for redo sternotomy. Hence, we can approach either through left anterolateral thoracotomy 3 or mini left thoracotomy 4 . Left anterolateral thoracotomy will require a lot of dissection for cannulation.…”

“…Hence, we can approach either through left anterolateral thoracotomy 3 or mini left thoracotomy. 4 Left anterolateral thoracotomy will require a lot of dissection for cannulation. A mini left thoracotomy was chosen as it provides all the benefits, choosing this technique need to have lot of preoperative planning for the site of the incision.…”

We present a follow-up case of total anomalous pulmonary vein repair and pulmonary valvotomy done 21 years back presented with severe pulmonary regurgitation. Magnetic resonance imaging shows the right ventricle end-diastolic volume and end-systolic volume being 185 mL/m 2 and 80 mL/m 2 , respectively.
