Abstract

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is commonly used to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation. Totally endoscopic approach has emerged as an attractive alternative procedure especially for young patients and has been described in isolated mitral and aortic valve settings. Totally endoscopic double valve procedure, including mitral and aortic valves, extends this treatment option to be offered to a broader patient population. We describe our approach to performing totally endoscopic concomitant aortic and mitral valve procedure, which has overcome unique technical hurdles and has yielded favorable outcomes.
