Contemporary Review of Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: Current Considerations and Innovations

Sharifa Alsheebani et al. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis. .

Abstract

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) has become a well-established alternative to traditional median sternotomy at high-volume surgical centers. Advancements in surgical instruments have led to further refinement of MIMVS. However, MIMVS remains limited to select patients in select settings. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the evolution of MIMVS, as well as a technical description of the most relevant aspects of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.

Keywords: mini-mitral surgery; minimally invasive; mitral valve.
