Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is commonly used to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation. The totally endoscopic approach has emerged as an attractive alternative procedure especially for young patients and has been described in isolated mitral and aortic valve settings. The totally endoscopic double valve procedure, including mitral and aortic valves, extends this treatment option to a broader patient population. We describe our approach to performing a totally endoscopic concomitant aortic and mitral valve procedure that has overcome unique technical hurdles and has yielded favorable outcomes.
微创心脏手术常用于治疗退行性二尖瓣反流。全内镜方法作为一种有吸引力的替代方法出现，特别是对于年轻患者，并已在孤立的二尖瓣和主动脉瓣环境中进行了描述。全内镜双瓣手术，包括二尖瓣和主动脉瓣，将这一治疗选择扩展到更广泛的患者群体。我们描述了我们进行全内镜同期主动脉瓣和二尖瓣手术的方法，该方法克服了独特的技术障碍并取得了良好的结果。
