Key result
Right anterolateral minithoracotomy approach demonstrates successful AVR in severe bicuspid aortic stenosis.
Why the study?
Right anterolateral minithoracotomy offers very limited procedural trauma for minimally invasive surgical aortic valve replacement, but step-by-step guidance on this approach was needed.
Case Report (n=1)
This tutorial demonstrates a minimally invasive surgical aortic valve replacement technique via right anterolateral minithoracotomy, offering an approach with limited procedural trauma.
In the field of minimally invasive surgical aortic valve replacement, the right anterolateral minithoracotomy is an approach that offers very limited procedural trauma. Our method of right anterolateral minithoracotomy uses femoral percutaneous cannulation, a high-definition thoracoscope and a transthoracic cross-clamp. It allows a minimized skin incision and full preservation of the sternum, sternocostal cartilages, and ribs. The patient we present in this video tutorial is a low-risk male with severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis. We provide detailed insight into our preoperative planning and step-by-step guidance throughout the right anterolateral minithoracotomy aortic valve replacement procedure.

A 2020 study conducted a case report in Severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis (n=1). Right anterolateral minithoracotomy aortic valve replacement was evaluated. A right anterolateral minithoracotomy approach for aortic valve replacement was successfully demonstrated in a low-risk male with severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.
