Right Anterior Minithoracotomy for Endocarditis Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

We present a case of surgical treatment of TAVR-PVE in a 75-years-old patient. The success of the treatment is based on the reduction of the operative trauma and length of the procedure with the use of minimally invasive right-sided thoracotomy and Perceval® sutureless aortic valve prosthesis (LivaNova, London, UK).
