Abstract: ObjectiveStudy the effects of mitral valve replacement using video-assisted thorascoscopy compared with median sternotomy mitral valve replacement.MethodsBetween October 2003 and October 2011,72 cases suffer from mitral valve disease underwent video-assisted thorascoscopic mitral valve replacement,74 cases underwent median sternotomy procedure.CPB time,cross clamp time,ventilation time,drainage,ICU stay time and hospital stay time of the two groups were compared.Results It was longer that CPB time and cross clamp time in video-assisted thoracospic group than those of median sternotomy group.There was statistically significant difference.However there was no statistically significant differentce in ventilation time and ICU stay time between two groups.Drainage of video-assisted thoracospic group was less than median sternotomy group.And there was statistically significant difference.ConclusionAs long as strictly a good indication,mitral valve surgery can routinely be performed with video-assisted thoracospic.
