Keywords: Aortic valve prosthesis; minimally invasive surgery; right anterior thoracotomy
Minimally invasive aortic valve surgery is associated with less bleeding, shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, and reduced intensive care unit and hospital stays. Herein, we present a 85-year-old male case with minimal invasive sutured aortic valve replacement via right anterior thoracotomy. We also discuss the advantages of this method.
