Popis: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery Conventional mitral valve surgery is performed through a full median sternotomy. Minimal invasive mitral valve surgery was introduced in the mid 1990s and is performed through a right mini-thoracotomy. Minimal access mitral valve surgery has grown in popularity and by reducing surgical trauma potential benefits include decreased postoperative bleeding and pain, reduced incidence of sternal wound infections and shortened recovery period after surgery. We report our experience in 97 patients operated during one year where mitral valve surgery was performed through a minimally invasive technique.
