Abstract Objectives Minimally invasive surgery is increasingly performed for isolated aortic or mitral valve procedures. However, combined minimally invasive aortic and mitral valve surgery is rare. We report our initial experience performing multiple valve procedures through a right-sided mini-thoracotomy (RMT) compared with sternotomy. Methods A total of 264 patients underwent aortic and mitral with or without tricuspid valve surgery through RMT (n = 25) or sternotomy (n = 239). Propensity score matching was used for outcome comparisons. Results Of the 264 patients, 25 (age: 72 ± 10 years; 72% male) underwent double (n = 19) and triple valve surgery (n = 6) through RMT and 239 (age: 71 ± 11 years; 54% male) underwent double (n = 176) and triple valve surgery (n = 63) through sternotomy. Sternotomy patients had more co-morbidities and preoperative risk factors (EuroSCORE II 10.25 ± 10.89 vs. RMT 3.58. ± 4.98; p < 0.001). RMT procedures were uneventful without intraoperative complications or conversions to sternotomy. After propensity score matching, surgical procedures were comparable between groups with a higher valve repair rate in RMT. Despite longer cardiopulmonary bypass times in RMT, there was no evidence for differences in 30-day mortality (RMT: n = 2 vs. sternotomy: n = 2) and there were no significant differences in other outcomes. During 5-year follow-up, reoperation was required in sternotomy patients only (n = 2). Follow-up echocardiography showed durable results after valve surgery. RMT patients showed higher survival probability compared with sternotomy, although this difference was not significant (hazard ratio = 0.33; 95% confidence interval: 0.06–1.65; p = 0.18). Conclusion Combined aortic plus mitral with or without tricuspid valve surgery can safely be performed through a RMT with a trend toward better mid-term outcomes.

Background Minimally invasive cardiac surgery via right lateral minithoracotomy is a well-described approach. However, reports on isolated tricuspid valve surgery (TVS) in this technique are rare. Therefore, we like to give a contribution by reporting our experience. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 25 tricuspid valve operations via right lateral minithoracotomy with femoral cannulation between August 2009 and September 2013 (18 repairs, 7 replacements, and 72% repair rate). Three patients (12%) presented for a re-do operation, and nine patients (36%) suffered from active endocarditis at admission. All patients underwent TVS as single valve procedure. Ten patients received additional procedures such as removal of infected leads, resection of atrial tumors, or closure of atrial septal defects. An annuloplasty ring was inserted in 12 cases. We investigated the short-term morbidity and mortality with regard to the surgical procedure. Results Repair rate was 72%. Thirty-day and 1-year mortality were 4 and 20%, respectively. The only patient with early mortality received the surgical procedure on the tricuspid valve as fourth cardiac-related surgery and postoperative mortality was due to intracranial air embolism. Perioperative morbidity included reoperation for bleeding (8%) and stroke (4%). No disturbance of wound healing occurred. Durations of intensive care unit stay and hospital stay were 2.3 ± 2.4 and 17.4 ± 13.1 days, respectively. Endocarditis-caused surgery did not reveal any significant difference in the intra- or perioperative course compared with other indications. Conclusion Minimally invasive TVS via right lateral minithoracotomy is feasible with good results. Even in a cohort of patients suffering from elevated rate of active endocarditis, a high repair rate can be achieved.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the addition of concomitant tricuspid valve surgery (TVS) negatively impacted operative outcomes of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS). Methods Patients undergoing MIMVS via a port-access right minithoracotomy between 2002 and 2014 at a single institution were reviewed. Patients were primarily stratified by those undergoing isolated MIMVS versus MIMVS+TVS. Propensity-matched cohorts were generated. Operative outcomes were compared between the propensity-matched cohorts and included operative mortality, complications, and length of hospital stay. Results A total of 1,158 patients underwent MIMVS via port-access right minithoracotomy. The majority of cases were elective (93%; n = 1,071) and 148 (13%) underwent concomitant MIMVS + TVS. Patients undergoing MIMVS + TVS were at higher risk at baseline. After propensity-matching, there were 119 isolated MIMVS and 119 MIMVS + TVS patients that were well matched with respect to all baseline variables. Cardiopulmonary bypass (148 ± 54 minutes versus 175 ± 54 minutes, P < 0.001) and aortic occlusion times (105 ± 36 minutes versus 128 ± 40 minutes, P < 0.001) were longer in the MIMVS + TVS group. Operative mortality was comparable (3% isolated MIMVS versus 4% for MIMVS + TVS; P = 0.73). Permanent pacemakers were required less frequently in the isolated MIMVS group (1% versus 6%; P = 0.03). All other complication rates were similar. Median length of hospital stay (7 versus 8 days; P = 0.13) and discharge-to-home rates (89% versus 94%; P = 0.15) were comparable. Conclusions Despite longer operative times, minimally invasive TVS performed concomitantly with MIMVS has similar operative outcomes with the exception of a higher pacemaker rate when compared with isolated MIMVS.
