Abstract

Our restrospective reviewed 204 patients underwent   minimally   invasive   mitral   valve surgery at the University Medical Center at Ho Chi Minh City from 08/2014 to 08/2018. 183 patients underwent minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, including 86   mitral valve repair. Mean age was 50.1±12.6. Male to female  ratio was  1.2:1.  Patients  with  mitral  valve  repair included  76  degenerative  valves,  1  post- rheumatic valves, 2 endocarditis and 4 congenital valves. The main mechanism was posterior leaflet prolapse 59 patients, anterior leaflet prolapse consists of 17 patiens, there were5 patients with both leaflets prolapse, 4 patients with anterior leaflet cleft, and 1 patients with commissural lesions. We encountered 15 complications: 4 hemothorax requiring draining, 1 annular rupture, 1 reoperation due to residual mitral regurgitation and 9 reoperation due bleeding, 1 femoral artery stenosis required patch plasty. Goals of operation were achieved 93%.
