Abstract
Limited upper sternotomy minimally invasive technique for aortic valve replacement provides excellent exposure of the aortic valve and offers a better cosmetic scar. In addition, minimally invasive limited upper sternotomy is as safe as full median sternotomy for aortic valve surgery, with fewer complications and postoperative pain, less ICU and hospital stay, fast recovery to work with limited movement restriction after surgery. It is better to use the limited upper sternotomy incision as an initial approach for aortic valve surgery.
