Minimally invasive heart valve surgery using a right anterolateral minithoracotomy is effective for multiple valve disease. This approach, guided by advanced imaging and epidural anesthesia, facilitates quicker patient recovery and reduced ventilation time.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery is a standard approach for treating heart valve disease.
  • Surgical correction of multiple valve pathologies often requires complex interventions.

Observation:

  • A 61-year-old female patient presented with multiple heart valve diseases.
  • The surgical correction was performed via a right anterolateral minithoracotomy.

Findings:

  • The procedure utilized transesophageal echocardiography and videoscopic guidance.
  • High thoracic epidural anesthesia was employed during the surgery.

Implications:

  • This minimally invasive technique offers a viable option for complex multiple valve disease.
