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

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

Objective The purpose of this consensus conference was to deliberate the evidence
regarding whether minimally invasive mitral valve surgery via thoracotomy improves clinical …

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 …

Objectives Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (mini-MVR) has numerous associated
benefits. However, many studies fail to include greater-risk patients. We hypothesized that a …

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 …

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 …
