Abstract
We present a technique for multivessel minimally invasive coronary revascularization combined with mitral valve replacement through a left anterior minithoracotomy. This newly developed technique is unique because it allows us to intervene and repair or replacement the mitral valve with a conventional surgical technique through a limited left anterior approach. The minimally invasive approaches for combined cardiac surgical procedures are being increasingly investigated and are of special interest to cardiac surgeons.
