Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (AVR) is increasingly used as an alternative to
conventional AVR, despite limited randomized evidence available. To assess the evidence …

Over the past decade, minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery (MICS) has grown in
popularity. This growth has been driven, in part, by a desire to translate many of the …

Background Aortic valve disease is a common condition easily treatable with cardiac
surgery. This is conventionally performed by opening the sternum ('median sternotomy') and …

OBJECTIVES The proportion of minimally invasive approaches is rising in cardiac surgery,
in part driven by increasing patient demand. This study aimed to perform a risk-adjusted …

Objective Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (AVR) has been associated with
several better outcomes over the standard full sternotomy approach. We revised our 10-year …

Objective To define the benefit of sutureless and rapid deployment valves in current
minimally invasive approaches in isolated aortic valve replacement. Methods A panel of 28 …

Background This study reports the single center experience on minimally invasive aortic
valve replacement (MIAVR), performed through a right anterior minithoracotomy or …

Background and Objectives: Transaxillary access is one of the latest innovations for
minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MICS-AVR). This study compares clinical …

Abstract Background and Aims The purpose of this prospective randomized study was to
compare the early and midterm outcomes of aortic valve replacement (AVR) through upper …

Since 1960, surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) had been the only effective treatment
for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis until the recent development of transcatheter aortic …
