Background Contemporary nationwide data from mainland China on trends in mitral valve surgery are scarce. The purpose of the present study was to review a single-center experience with mitral valve surgery over a 10-year period in East China. Methods Between July 2009 and June 2019, 3238 consecutive patients who underwent mitral valve surgery in our center were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were evenly divided into three periods: July 2009 to October 2012 (period I), November 2012 to February 2016 (period II), March 2016 to June 2019 (period III). Results The 3238 patients included 536 (16.6%) who had mitral valve repair and 2702 (83.4%) who had mitral valve replacement. Early mortalities for mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement were 0.2% and 0.9%, respectively. There were trends towards a higher proportion of degenerative valve lesions (24.6%, 35.8%, 54.7% in periods I, II, and III, respectively) and a lower proportion of rheumatic valve lesions (71.0%, 62.6%, 38.0%) in more recent years. The proportions of minimally invasive surgery (0.7%, 2.1%, 30.2%), mitral valve repair (8.3%, 15.4%, 27.5%), use of a bioprosthesis (10.1%, 17.0%, 23.1%), and concomitant tricuspid valve procedures (13.2%, 28.5%, 46.0%) increased dramatically, while early mortality remained constant during the 10-year period (1.0%, 0.3%, 0.9%). Conclusions In the past 10 years, the spectrum of mitral valve disease experienced a trend towards more degenerative valve lesions and less rheumatic valve lesions in East China. Mitral valve repair, bioprostheses, tricuspid valve repair, and minimally invasive surgery have been more often applied in recent years.

  Background. Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery provides many advantages for patients. The aim. To investigate and represent our own experience in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, and to describe the operative technique. Materials and methods. The study was included 100 consecutive patients who underwent a minimally invasive mitral valve repair or replacement through the right lateral minithoracotomy from June 2017 to December 2019. Results. Mitral valve repair was performed in 87 patients (87%), and 13 patients (13%) were required mitral valve replacement. In 24 patients (24%), concomitant procedures were performed: tricuspid valve repair, atrial septal defect repair and left atrial myxomectomy. Ring anuloplasty was performed in all patients who underwent mitral valve repair. Additional methods of correction were used in accordance to the lesion anatomy: neochords implantation, cleft and leaflet perforation closure, leaflet resection, Alfieri (edge-to-edge) stitch, posterior leaflet plication. There was no in-hospital and 30-day mortality. Post-operative strokes were not reported. No wound complications were observed in the femoral cannulation area. The total length of stay in a hospital was 6 ± 1.46 (3–9) days. There were no cases of mitral valve insufficiency greater more than mild degree after mitral valve repair at the time of discharge. Conclusions. Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can be performed as a routine standard approach, provides safe and effective correction of the mitral valve defects, allows excellent results of mitral valve repair and replacement in various abnormalities. Minimally invasive approach enables to perform a large number of reconstructive valve techniques and perform simultaneous correction of atrial septal defects, tricuspid valve repair and atrial neoplasm removal.

Techniques for minimally invasive mitral valve repair and replacement continue to evolve. This expert opinion, the second of a 3-part series, outlines current best practices for nonrobotic, minimally invasive mitral valve procedures, and for postoperative care after minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.

The practice of minimally invasive surgery is becoming increasingly widespread in the current era of cardiac surgery. Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) describes many different surgical techniques used in the management of mitral valve (MV) disease. Variations in surgical techniques include a combination of the type of incision, direct visualization (videoscopic or robotic visualization), cardiopulmonary perfusion techniques, and aortic occlusion (external clamping, endo-clamping, or fibrillatory arrest). In this chapter, the history and current literature related to MIMVS are reviewed in detail. In addition, we discuss both important technical aspects associated with MIMVS, as well as our approach at the Saint Thomas Heart Institute.

Background: The development of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery has created the motivation for using this approach in young patients with chronic rheumatic valve disease. We report our recent experience with patients undergoing minimally mitral valve surgery in this group of patients. Methods: Between July 2014 and June 2018, 142 patients with rheumatic mitral valve dysfunction underwent minimally invasive surgery through a right thoracotomy approach at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Diagnosis was confirmed with transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TTE and TEE). We analyzed the in-hospital and midterm follow-up outcomes of this group. Results: The mean age was 42.6 ± 9.6 years. Sixty patients (42.3%) were male. Sixty-three patients were diagnosed with functional severe tricuspid regurgitation, 29 patients were identified with moderate tricuspid regurgitation, and tricuspid annulus was more than 21 mm/m²). Mitral valve repair was performed in 16 patients (11.3%), and 126 patients underwent mitral valve replacement. Mitral valve repair techniques included annuloplasty, leaflet peeling, and commissurotomy. Thirty-day mortality was 0.7%. Two patients had to be converted to conventional sternotomy, due to left atrial appendage laceration and mitral annular rupture. The overall survival rate was 98.6%. Freedom from reoperation was 97.1%. Conclusions: In patients with rheumatic valve disease, minimally invasive mitral surgery safely and effectively can be performed with few perioperative complications and good midterm results.

Historically, contraindications to minimally invasive or robotic mitral valve surgery have included prior mastectomy, thoracic reconstruction, or chest radiation. However, we believe that by granting flexibility in the choice of skin incision site while performing careful dissection, surgeons can provide these patients the outstanding results afforded by a minithoracotomy. We present a patient who had undergone a prior mastectomy and radiation treatment in whom we performed a minimally invasive mitral valve repair through a right-sided minithoracotomy using the previous mastectomy incision.
