Case Series of First Microinvasive Fully Endoscopic Use of a New Mitral Prosthesis.

ABSTRACT: The use of bioprostheses is increasing in younger patients, but it is associated with the risk of later valve deterioration, especially in the mitral position. A new bioprosthesis for mitral valve replacement offers possible longer-term durability and improved hemodynamics. Objectives: Here, we report the implantation of the novel Edwards MITRIS RESILIA mitral valve (Edwards Lifesciences Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) through microinvasive fully endoscopic access as an innovative surgical approach based on a series of twelve patients. Methods: Contrast-based ECG gated CT was preoperatively performed in all patients to determine the intravascular calcifications and vascular parameters, as well as to assess noticeable problems during the operation.
