Background: Although minimally invasive mitral valve surgery via a right minithoracotomy
(MICS-mitral) is widely performed, no tool to evaluate its risk has been reported. We sought …

OBJECTIVES With the popularization of catheter-based mitral valve procedures, evaluating
risk-specific differentiated clinical outcomes after contemporary mitral valve surgery is …

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 …

Objective Minimally invasive surgery is increasingly adopted as an alternative to
conventional sternotomy for mitral valve pathology in many centres worldwide. A systematic …

OBJECTIVES (i) To establish who is at high risk for mitral surgery.(ii) To assess the
performance of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery in high-risk patients by presenting …

OBJECTIVE: Less invasive approaches to mitral valve surgery are increasingly used for
improved cosmesis; however, few studies have investigated their effect on outcome. We …

Over the past 15 years, minimally invasive mitral valve surgery via right lateral
minithoracotomy has become the preferred method for mitral valve repair and mitral valve …

Background: To report single-institution experience with minimally invasive mitral valve
operations through the right minithoracotomy over a 5-year period. Methods: Patients who …

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 …

Background Understanding the operative outcomes of mitral valve (MV) surgery across the
spectrum of predicted risk of mortality (PROM) is necessary to determine the best use of …
