Minimally invasive or sternotomy approach in mitral valve surgery: a propensity-matched comparison
Objectives Conventional mitral valve surgery through median sternotomy improves long-term survival with acceptable morbidity and mortality. However, less-invasive approaches to mitral valve surgery are now increasingly employed.

Mini-Reoperative Mitral Valve Surgery [PDF]
Reoperative surgery involving the atrioventricular valves places the patient at risk for cardiac or bypass graft injury upon reoperative sternotomy. Standard right thoracotomy can avoid these problems but is associated with a large incision and possibly more pulmonary complications.An alternative, minimally invasive approach for reoperative ...

Endoscopic robotic mitral valve surgery [PDF]
To determine the safety and efficacy of endoscopic mitral valve surgery using robotic instruments through the lateral right chest.We conducted a retrospective review of 127 patients taken to the operating room for endoscopic robotic mitral surgery from December 2002 through November 2005. Mean age was 54 +/- 13 years and 58% were male.
