Abstract

BACKGROUND: Redo mitral valve surgery in patients with patent coronary bypass grafts carries a risk of graft injury and postoperative bleeding. We compare early results of reoperative minimally invasive on-pump beating heart mitral valve surgery (OPBMS) via mini thoracotomy vs the results of standard sternotomy mitral valve surgery (SSMS) in the presence of patent coronary bypass grafts.
