Totally Endoscopic Replacement of the Ascending Aorta and the Aortic Root including the Aortic Valve via Right Mini-Thoracotomy: A Multicenter Study.

: Recently, minimally invasive access via right anterolateral mini-thoracotomy (RAMT) has been gaining popularity in cardiac surgery. This approach is also an option for surgeons performing aortic surgery. The aim of this study is to present our surgical method, highlighting the total endoscopic minimally invasive approach via RAMT for replacement of the ascending aorta (AAR) with or without involvement of the aortic root and the aortic valve.
