Abstract
AVR with the sutureless Perceval bioprosthesis through a ministernotomy was a safe and reproducible procedure that was not associated with prolonged aortic cross-clamp or cardiopulmonary bypass time compared with a full sternotomy. Early postoperative outcomes and 2-year survival were comparable between patients undergoing ministernotomy and full sternotomy.
