An approach to mitral valve surgery by a T-shaped mini-sternotomy with functioning bilateral internal thoracic artery grafts
Surgery Today, 10/02/09
Takahashi Y et al. – The authors chose to perform an inferior T–shaped mini–sternotomy. The surgical field was sufficient to perform mitral valve replacement with a mechanical prosthetic valve under fibrillatory arrest. The grafts were neither dissected nor clamped, and access to the aorta and mitral valve was excellent.
