Article Synopsis
- This study compared outcomes of mitral valve replacement surgeries done using minimally invasive thoracoscopic (MIs) techniques versus traditional median sternotomy (MS) surgeries, involving a total of 404 patients split equally after matching.
- Results indicated that while the MIs group had longer surgery times and higher hospitalization costs, they experienced fewer complications such as poor wound healing and shorter recovery times in the ICU and hospital overall.
- Both surgical methods showed high survival rates post-surgery, with no significant differences in serious complications like stroke or renal failure.
