Right Anterior Minithoracotomy for Aortic Valve Replacement: A Widely Applicable, Simple, and Stepwise Approach

Objective A stepwise approach for right anterior minithoracotomy aortic valve replacement (RAT-AVR), without sutureless valves, special instruments, or preoperative imaging, was developed. We report our experience with this widely applicable, simplified approach. Methods Patients with a history of p...

We report our experience with this widely applicable, simplified approach. Methods Patients with a history of previous chest surgery, documented PVD, severe COPD, LVOT size &lt;2.0 cm, and root size &lt;2.8 cm were excluded. Chest CT was not mandatory. The stepwise surgical approach consists of 1) tolerability of single-lung ventilation; 2) 5-cm long incision on third right anterior ICS; 3) small pericardial opening to localize the aortic valve annular plane by digital palpation; 4) shingling of the correct rib to create a box field; 5) optimizing exposure with stay sutures; 6) femoral or central cannulation with right superior pulmonary vein venting and usual antegrade cardioplegia; 7) performing a standard AVR without adjunct instruments; and 8) reconstructing 1 costochondral cartilage. Results Fifty-five patients were operated. The mean age was 68.5 years (SD 10.4); 29.1% were female. Median STS PROM was 1.18 (0.4 to 6.6). Pump and cross-clamp times were 104.8 minutes (SD 27.9) and 73.2 minutes (SD 22.8), respectively. There was no need for a knot pusher. There was 1 conversion, 1 reopening for bleeding, and 1 pacemaker insertion. No patient had a stroke, MI, or death at 30 days. The median LOS was 6 days (3 to 19). Conclusion RAT-AVR can be applicable and performed safely in a wide range of patients by adopting a simple, stepwise approach with intraoperative assessment, without the need for special imaging, instrumentation, or advanced training.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1556-9845</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1559-0879</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1177/1556984519844745</identifier><identifier>PMID: 31084446</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Los Angeles, CA: SAGE Publications</publisher><subject>Aged ; Aortic Valve Stenosis - surgery ; Female ; Heart Valve Prosthesis Implantation - methods ; Humans ; Length of Stay - statistics &amp; numerical data ; Male ; Middle Aged ; One-Lung Ventilation ; Postoperative Complications - epidemiology ; Thoracotomy - methods</subject><ispartof>Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2019-08, Vol.14 (4), p.321-329</ispartof><rights>The Author(s) 2019</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c337t-d513a9ae4318485b0a8cf97ecb83faef2e2e9d57694336d0503ec6c916d06143</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c337t-d513a9ae4318485b0a8cf97ecb83faef2e2e9d57694336d0503ec6c916d06143</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27924,27925,79364</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31084446$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Ribeiro, Igo B.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Ruel, Marc</creatorcontrib><title>Right Anterior Minithoracotomy for Aortic Valve Replacement: A Widely Applicable, Simple, and Stepwise Approach</title><title>Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)</title><addtitle>Innovations (Phila)</addtitle><description>Objective A stepwise approach for right anterior minithoracotomy aortic valve replacement (RAT-AVR), without sutureless valves, special instruments, or preoperative imaging, was developed.
