Right miniparasternotomy may be a good minimally invasive alternative to full sternotomy for cardiac valve operations: a propensity-adjusted analysis

摘要

BACKGROUND: Limited real-world data existed for mini-parastemotomy approach with good sample size in Asian cohorts and most previous studies were eclipsed by case heterogeneity. The goal of this study was to compare safety and quality outcomes of cardiac non-coronary valve operations by mini-parastemotomy and full sternotomy approaches on risk-adjusted basis.
