Aim Minimally invasive aortic valve surgery has been studied widely with outcomes comparable or better than standard sternotomy. We recently reported on decreased blood loss, cross clamp time and length of hospital stay when compared to conventional full sternotomy. We expanded the indication to aortic root surgery and report here our 8 years experience.
