| Sumario: | Surgeons are increasingly using the right mini-thoracotomy approach to perform aortic
valve surgery. This approach has shown better results in terms of blood loss and length
of hospital stay than the sternotomy approach. For selected patients requiring aortic root
and ascending aorta surgery, a right mini-thoracotomy approach may prove beneficial. In
our technique, we placed a 5-cm horizontal skin incision in the right second intercostal
space. Femoro-femoral cardiopulmonary bypass was established. A valved aortic conduit
was used for aortic root replacement. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful,
with a short hospital stay. This technique offers a minimally invasive approach to aortic root
and ascending aorta surgery with easy adaptability and reduced costs. |
