Simultaneous beating-heart mitral valve replacement and aortic repair following Bentall procedure via double right mini-thoracotomies: a case report
The right mini-thoracotomies approach efficiently accessed mitral valve and ascending aorta in reoperations, reducing the adhesion dissection risks and ensuring clear exposure. Moreover, concomitant use of beating-heart technique minimized adhesion dissection for aortic cross-clamp, preserved cardiac function.
