Brief Summary

Our MI-AVR (minimally-invasive aortic valve replacement) experience in an all-comer scenario shows good short-term results. Both groups had comparable high survival rates at 1-year irrespective of age difference and physical status. Postoperative hospital stay and need for PPM were satisfactory low in both groups. In times of increasing catheter-based aortic valve implantation, expanding MI-AVR programs remain a sine qua non for all cardiac surgery clinics.
