Which Patients Are Candidates for Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery? ― Establishment of Risk Calculators Using National Clinical Database

Background:Although minimally invasive mitral valve surgery via a right minithoracotomy (MICS-mitral) is widely performed, no tool to evaluate its risk has been reported. We sought to establish MICS-mitral risk calculators using a national clinical database for selection of appropriate patients.Meth...

Description
Summary:Background:Although minimally invasive mitral valve surgery via a right minithoracotomy (MICS-mitral) is widely performed, no tool to evaluate its risk has been reported. We sought to establish MICS-mitral risk calculators using a national clinical database for selection of appropriate patients.Methods and Results:Between 2008 and 2015, 3,240 patients (mean age 59±14 years, males 1,950) underwent a MICS-mitral procedure in Japan and were registered in a national clinical database. We examined mortality and composite outcome (operative mortality, stroke, reoperation for bleeding) using multivariate analysis, then developed a risk calculator for each using stepwise analysis. Operative mortality was 1.1% and the composite outcome rate was 5%. In multivariate analysis, risk factors for operative mortality were shown to be age, respiratory dysfunction, thoracic aortic disease, myocardial infarction, body mass index >30, NYHA class IV, moderate or severe aortic regurgitation, mitral valve replacement, multiple valve surgery, and annual cases
