We report the case of a 59-year-old man referred for aortic valve replacement for severe, symptomatic aortic insufficiency who underwent a minimally invasive left anterior thoracotomy aortic valve replacement. This approach was facilitated by his history of a left pneumonectomy for lung cancer 7 years prior to presentation, which resulted in a significant left mediastinal shift. The cannulation strategy and exposure were analogous to what would be expected from a standard right anterior thoracotomy minimally invasive aortic valve replacement. The minimally invasive approach allowed for early extubation and mobilization in a patient with moderate baseline pulmonary dysfunction.
