Beating Heart Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery in Patients with Patent Coronary Bypass Grafts
Conclusion Redo mitral surgery in patients with patent bypass grafts can safely be performed via minimally invasive mini-thoracotomy on a beating heart. The main benefits of this approach are to avoid the sternotomy and decrease the amount of postoperative blood loss. Teaser The aim of this study was to compare early outcomes of patients undergoing a beating heart minimally invasive mitral valve redo procedure and mitral redo surgery via sternotomy in the presence of patent bypass grafts. Beating mitral surgery can be safely done with comparable outcomes to the standard sternotomy approach.
