Abstract
This study demonstrates that the direct vision, transthoracic clamp technique for minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is reproducible with low mortality and morbidity rates. It results in excellent cosmesis and abolished the risk of thoracic wound infection. Results are comparable to midterm outcomes of conventional operations.
