Ministernotomy is widely used for aortic valve repair or replacement, whereas pulmonary valve repair via this approach has been reported only recently. This article aims to describe the use of ministernotomy for pulmonary valve replacement in adult congenital patients.

Keywords: Minimally invasive; Ministernotomy; Pulmonary valve replacement; Tetralogy of Fallot.
