Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Thoracic Aorta Surgery

Context:

  • Minimally invasive techniques offer excellent surgical exposure of the proximal thoracic aorta.
  • Growing experience has led to applying these techniques to complex aortic root and arch procedures.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ministernotomy approach for proximal thoracic aortic surgery.
  • To assess outcomes in patients undergoing aortic root and arch treatment via ministernotomy.

Summary:

  • 243 patients underwent proximal aortic surgery via ministernotomy between 2016 and 2024.
  • Procedures included aortic root and ascending aorta replacements, with low 30-day mortality (0.4%) and stroke rates.
  • High rates of early extubation and home discharge were observed.

Impact:

  • Minimally invasive thoracic aortic surgery is feasible and successful in specialized centers.
  • Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan analysis is crucial for tailored surgical planning and optimal exposure.
  • This approach facilitates complex aortic procedures with favorable short-term outcomes.
