Background Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MVS) via right mini-thoracotomy has
recently attracted a lot of attention. Minimally invasive MVS shows postoperative results that …

Objectives This study analyzed the experience of a single institution with minimally invasive
mitral valve repair (MIMVr) via a right mini-thoracotomy (RT), including short and mid-term …

Purpose The aim of this study was to compare the cases of minimally invasive mitral valve
surgery (MICS-mitral) performed using right mini-thoracotomy (RT) with those performed …

Since its introduction in the mid-1990s, minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) has
been shown to be a feasible alternative to a conventional full-sternotomy approach, and …

Background Mitral valve surgery (MVS) is evolving. Compared to standard sternotomy (S-
MVS), minimally invasive method (Mini-MVS) has been increasingly adopted in the last …

Background Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (mini-MVR) has grown in popularity.
Although single centers have reported excellent outcomes, data on real-world outcomes and …

Objectives Conventional mitral valve surgery through median sternotomy improves long-
term survival with acceptable morbidity and mortality. However, less-invasive approaches to …

Background Minimally invasive valve surgery is related to certain better postoperative
outcomes. We aimed to assess the role of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery in high-risk …

Background There is limited evidence about the efficacy and cost difference between
minimally invasive and conventional valve reoperation. This study intended to compare the …

Background Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIV) through a right lateral thoracotomy
