Does minimally invasive mitral valve repair (RT approach) improve short-term efficacy and safety compared to median sternotomy in patients undergoing mitral valve repair?

Short-term efficacy and safety
Minimally invasive mitral valve repair via RT approach is a safe and effective alternative to median sternotomy, offering shorter ICU stays and reduced transfusion requirements despite longer operative times.
When compared with the median sternotomy approach, the RT approach shows comparable results in short-term efficacy and safety. On relatively increasing cardiopulmonary bypass time and operation time, the RT approach shortens the patient's intensive care unit stay and reduces the need for blood transfusion. Pulmonary function may be affected shortly post-surgery in the RT approach, with insignificant difference in haemodynamics.
