Background Reoperative mitral valve (MV) surgery is associated with significant morbidity
and mortality; however, endoscopic minimally invasive surgical techniques may preserve …

Background Mitral valve (MV) surgery has traditionally been performed by conventional
sternotomy (CS), but more recently minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become another …

Background Although the incidence of mitral valve (MV) surgery after previous open‐heart
surgery is increasing, there is no consensus regarding the optimal surgical approach …

may improve patients' outcomes compared to median sternotomy. This study aims to …

Background Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (mini-MVR) has grown in popularity.
Although single centers have reported excellent outcomes, data on real-world outcomes and …

BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, minimally invasive (MI) mitral valve surgery has
grown in popularity. The purpose of this study was to compare both short-and long-term …
