Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The study aims to answer the questions whether sensory disturbances in the area of periareolar access path occur after minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, if eventually affect existing sensory disturbances in the area of periareolar access path the quality of life of patients and if the patients are satisfied with the cosmetic result after minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The long term goal of our studies on the sensibility of the anterior chest wall after minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is to identify possible side effects of the people already employed treatment strategies to describe, to clarify and, if necessary, to evaluate a possible optimization of the established treatment concepts.
