Surgical approaches to the mitral valve: variable paths to the same destination

Authors: Ibrahim Sultan, Dhaval Pravin Trivedi, Venkata Ratnam Machiraju

Published in: Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery | Special Issue 2/2018

Abstract

Surgical exposure to access mitral valve has been performed through various chambers in the heart like left atrium, right atrium and trans septal approach, through ascending aorta and left ventricle as well. Depending upon the surgical pathology, body habitus of the patient, and previous cardiac surgery, each approach has some advantages and disadvantages. This article reviews all the approaches and the surgical indications as well the advantages and disadvantages of the each approach.
