May support minimally invasive aortic valve surgery in selected patients; leaves open need for randomized trials versus sternotomy.
Observational (n=1,005)
Minimally invasive aortic valve surgery is safe and feasible, demonstrating low operative mortality and excellent long-term survival, including in elderly patients.
Tabata et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Aortic valve disease (n=1,005). Minimally invasive aortic valve surgery was evaluated on Operative mortality. Minimally invasive aortic valve surgery demonstrated an operative mortality of 1.9% and long-term actuarial survival of 91% at 5 years and 88% at 10 years.
