Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) for valve repair or replacement has been reported in recent literature. The advantages of this method include less incisional pain and discomfort, a reduced length of hospital stay because of reduced surgical trauma. We report two cases of aortic valve replacement through a right parasternal incision using femorofemoral bypass. Postoperative recovery was complete and uneventful in both; there was no severe wound pain, wound infection or other complication. A limited right parasternal incision reduces the impairment induced by a median sternotomy. We conclude that MICS is a promising new technique that can be considered as an alternative in most cases of aortic valve disease. |
