Tabata M, Khalpey Z, Shekar PS, Cohn LH. Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, MA Reoperative minimal access aortic valve surgery: Minimal mediastinal dissection and minimal injury risk. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2008 Dec; 136 (6): 1564-8. Conclusion: An upper hemi-sternotomy approach for reoperative aortic valve surgery is safe and feasible. This approach minimizes tissue dissection and trauma, thereby reducing the risk of injury to patent grafts and mediastinal organs.

ALTERNATE PERFUSION SITES
After previous CABG needing AVR or MVR.. Do you need to isolate the LIMA (LITA) NO!!!
174 patients to be presented at WTSA no difference, many variables when left open.
No dissection technique is safe for reoperative aortic valve replacement with a patent left internal thoracic artery graft Kaneko T, Nauta F, Borstlap W, McGurk S, Khalpey Z, McClure S, Rawn J, Cohn LH Brigham & Women s Hospital, Boston, MA Conclusion: Reoperative AVR in patients with a previous CABG and patent LITA graft may be treated safely without dissection or clamping of the LITA. Myocardial protection using systemic hyperkalemia and hypothermia appears equivalent to the protection achieved in patients who had no LITA graft. We believe this method will prevent unnecessary injury during dissection of the LITA graft. To be presented at the WTSA 2012 Hawaii

It shows an Innomotion arm for the positioning module and the prototype of the new developed valve delivery module affixed on the robotic arm
CONCLUSION Technical advances in aortic valve surgery have been remarkable to date, but the near future will see more less invasive surgical techniques to further improve patient outcomes, especially in the elderly.
Less Invasive Mitral Valve Reoperations
Mitral valve surgery after previous CABG with functioning IMA grafts Byrne JG, Aranki SF, Adams DH, Rizzo RJ, Couper GS, Cohn LH BWH, Boston, MA Ann Thorac Surg 1999 Dec;68:2243-7. Conclusions: Reoperative mitral valve surgery in the setting of functioning IMA grafts even in the face of depressed LV function, can be done safely and with minimal morbidity

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery Expands the Surgical Options for High-Risks Patients Petracek MR, Leacche M, Solenkova N Umakanthan R, Ahmad RM, Ball SK, Hoff SJ, Absi TS, Balaguer JM, Byrne JG. Vanderbilt Heart & Vascular Institute, Nashville, TN. Annals of Surgery Volume 254 Number 4, October 2011 Conclusions: This study demonstrates that MIMVS without aortic cross-clamp clamp is reproducible with low mortality and morbidity rates. This approach expands the surgical options for high-risk patients and yields to superior results than the conventional median sternotomy approach.
CONCLUSION Less invasive surgical approaches to mitral and aortic disease are safe and reproducible The future of new catheter based devices may obviate mitral and aortic reoperations but not for a long while
In experienced hands, minimally invasive valve surgery is not about marketing. It s about improved patient outcomes, especially in the elderly. Try new innovation, but critically and consistently review and re-review. review.
