Patient-reported outcome measures after mitral valve repair: a comparison between minimally invasive and sternotomy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare patient-reported outcome measures of minimally invasive (MI) to sternotomy (ST) mitral valve repair.

Methods

We included all patients undergoing isolated mitral valve surgery via either a right mini-thoracotomy (MI) or ST over a 36-month period. Patients were asked to complete a modified Composite Physical Function questionnaire. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes, and patient-reported outcome measures were compared between 2 propensity-matched groups (n = 47/group), assessing 3 domains: 'Recovery Time', 'Postoperative Pain' (at day 2 and 1, 3, 6 and 12 weeks) and 'Treatment Satisfaction'. Composite scores for each domain were subsequently constructed and multivariable analysis was used to determine whether surgical approach was associated with d
