2022年6月23日 · What is a minimally invasive mitral valve repair? A minimally invasive mitral valve repair is surgery to fix your mitral valve. The mitral valve keeps blood flowing in the correct direction between your lower left heart chamber (left ventricle) and your upper left …

Mini-MVR stands for minimally invasive mitral valve repair with minimal incision and minimal trauma. How does it work? During traditional MVR, a cardiothoracic surgeon makes a 6- to 8-inch long incision down the center of the sternum (breastbone) to open the chest and provide direct access to the heart.

Using a smaller incision, minimally invasive mitral valve repair has proven to be an effective and highly durable alternative, reducing the need for subsequent surgeries and improving patient safety. A broad range of patients are eligible for minimally invasive approach via the right chest, including those with:

Mini-MVR is safe in advanced cardiomyopathy, and resulted in no recurrent MR, stabilization of LVEF and LV dimensions, and a decrease in RVSP. This mini-MVR fibrillating technique can be used to address severe MR in patients with advanced cardiomyopathy.

2017年7月26日 · Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (mini-MVR) has numerous associated benefits. However, many studies fail to include greater-risk patients. We hypothesized that a minimally invasive approach in a representative cohort provides excellent outcomes with reduced resource utilization.

In a real-world cohort, mini-MVR continues to demonstrate excellent results with a favorable resource utilization profile. Greater surgical and implant costs with mini-MVR are offset by decreased transfusions and ancillary needs leading to equivalent overall hospital cost.

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (mini-MVR) has grown in popularity. Although single centers have reported excellent outcomes, data on real-world outcomes and costs of mini-MVR are limited. Moreover, mini-MVR has been criticized as …

Based on our extensive experience we believe that mitral valve repair through a right mini-thoracotomy provides a durable and safe alternative to a traditional sternotomy with the benefits of improved cosmesis, reduced post-operative pain, less blood loss with fewer blood transfusions, fewer infections, shorter length of stay, and faster return ...

2018年8月1日 · Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (mini-MVR) has numerous associated benefits. However, many studies fail to include greater-risk patients. We hypothesized that a minimally invasive approach in a representative cohort provides excellent outcomes with reduced resource utilization.

2016年3月31日 · Patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve repair or replacement (mini-MVR) have similar outcomes as patients undergoing conventional surgery and...
