Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Replacement Versus Conventional Approach: Comparison of Early Postoperative Outcomes.

Not Applicable
Conditions
Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery
Interventions
Procedure: mitral valve replacement through full sternotomy approach.
Procedure: mitral valve replacement through right mini thoracotomy approach.
Registration Number
NCT05504109
Lead Sponsor
Sohag University
Brief Summary

The term minimally invasive mitral valve surgery has been reported (MIMVS) by American Heart Association and referred to a collection of new techniques. All of these new techniques aiming to reduce surgical trauma by minimizing surgical incision, modified perfusion methods and use of new instruments . The right anterior mini-thoracotomy is the most common approach, next to it the lower mini-sternotomy approach, then the parasternal incision or the left posterior thoracotomy approach .

Technically MIMVS is more complex, requires a special learning curve and associated with higher Incidence of neurological events, aortic dissection, groin complications and infection despite all these benefits . MIVS also has controversies among cardiac surgeons, because it makes the exposure worse and requires a more complex surgery, which may lead to a less satisfying effect
