We conducted a high-risk redo mitral valve replacement through a right mini-thoracotomy without rib spreading (redo-MICS MVR) under systemic hyperkalemia combined with circulatory arrest to circumvent complications associated with cardioplegia delivery. The patient, a 75-year-old man, had a predicted mortality rate of 20%. Initial antegrade cardioplegia successfully induced cardiac arrest, which was administered every 30 min.
