Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement through right anterior minithoracotomy has been shown as a reliable and interesting approach. However, the placement of a sutured valve may be challenging and time-consuming in some cases. Sutureless bioprosthesis is an elegant alternative in order to facilitate its placement and to reduce the aortic cross-clamp time. In this video, we report our surgical technique of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with an Edwards INTUITY sutureless bioprosthesis. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged after 6 days.
