Anterolateral approach for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement
2014
Objective
Right anterior thoracotomy is the most common approach of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) via intercostal mini-thoracotomy. However, there are some disadvantages including sacrificing the right internal thoracic artery (RITA). The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of anterolateral thoracotomy (ALT), which is similar to lateral thoracotomy used for minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, for MIAVR.
