A Decade of Minimally Invasive Mitral Repair: Long-Term Outcomes
Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 09/23/09
Galloway AC et al. – The data indicate that long–term outcomes after minimally invasive mitral repair are excellent and equivalent to results achieved with sternotomy. In view of previously published advantages of short–term morbidity, minimally invasive approaches to mitral valve surgery deserve expanded use.
