Our meta-analysis of 30,524 patients revealed:
📌 No difference in perioperative mortality
📉 Lower stroke rates with mini-thoracotomy
🔄 Higher reoperation for bleeding with mini-thoracotomy
⏳ Longer operative duration with mini-thoracotomy
❗️New Evidence in Minimally Invasive AVR
Minimally invasive AVR is here to stay, but which approach is superior — mini-sternotomy or right anterior mini-thoracotomy?

🫀TAVI is associated with⬇️postop. delirium compared to SAVR without compromising major outcomes
❗️It could implicate that delirium is either not as relevant in SAVR, or is not a causal factor, but only a surrogate for identifying sicker patients

#SAVR vs. #TAVR in patients ≤60 y in California:
✅ #TAVR increase from 7.2% to 45%
✅ 30d mortality similar (0.2% vs 0.4%)
✅ 5y hazard for mortality: HR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1-3.7, p=0.02
✅ reoperation almost double with #TAVI (2.2% vs 3.8%, p=0.25)

Unicuspid Aortic Valve in a 50-Year-Old Woman
Aortic valve replacement was successfully performed through a right anterior thoracotomy.
#AVR#MinimallyInvasive#MICS
Severe central AI, root aneurysm 5.4 cm, mid 60s.
Preop images consistent with “trileaflet” AV- intra op very asymmetric bicuspid AV with L-R fusion.
Thought was not repairable and replaced with root conduit!
Would you repair?
