Zusammenfassung: | Totally endoscopic cardiac operations for coronary procedures and atrial septal defect repair have demonstrated improved quality of life, but they have required longer cross-clamp times compared with open operations. Although transcatheter valve implantation remains appropriate for inoperable patients, the totally endoscopic approach could be an effective treatment for lower risk patients, including complete removal of the stenotic aortic valve, while minimizing surgical chest wall trauma, and providing excellent early quality of life. Totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement procedures were previously performed with the 3f Enable bioprosthesis. We present the first case, to our knowledge, of Sorin Perceval implantation. |
