Abstract
The port-access technique can be safely applied to perform left ventricle endoplasty through a left minithoracotomy. Such approach allows optimal surgical view and therefore optimal surgical correction. Based on our satisfactory experience we support left minithoracotomy as a valuable alternative approach for left ventricle endoplasty in view of an extended use of minimally invasive techniques.
