Mitral Valve Surgery via Upper Ministernotomy: Single-Centre Experience in More than 400 Patients

<i>Background:</i> Minimally invasive mitral valve (MV) surgery has emerged as an alternative to conventional sternotomy aiming to decrease surgical trauma. The aim of the study was to describe our experience with minimally invasive MV surgery through partial upper sternotomy (PUS) regar...
