Concomitant procedures using minimally access
Abstract
Alongside the mitral repair or replacement, a considerable number of concomitant procedures can be performed with the minimally invasive mitral valve surgical approach. Some of these concomitant procedures comprise the tricuspid valve repair or replacement, left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion, Interatrial septum defects correction and atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.
