A simplified minimally invasive approach to mitral valve surgery - optimal access under direct vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
With increasing enthusiasm in minimally invasive surgery, several approaches and access are being performed with great precision. In this report, we illustrate and describe a minimal invasive approach to mitral valve surgery with optimal access under direct vision, the indications and patient selection, the surgical techniques, its advantages over the other approaches, and its simplicity and reproducibility.

متن کاملMinimally Invasive Mitral Valve Procedures: The Current State
Since its early days, cardiac surgery has typically involved large incisions with complete access to the heart and the great vessels. After the popularization of the minimally invasive techniques in general surgery, cardiac surgeons began to experiment with minimal access techniques in the early 1990s. Although the goals of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) are fairly well established a...
