Summary:Minimally invasive approach in mitral valve surgery has been applied since the late 1990s. Considerable experience of mini-thoracotomy in cardiac surgery has been gained over this period. Stages of the development of minimally invasive cardiac surgery are reviewed in the article. Features of mitral valve surgery through right-sided mini-thoracotomy are discussed. Surgical outcomes of these procedures are reported considering data of various cardiac surgery centers. Moreover, the authors determined indications and limitations of this technique.
