Abstract

Minimally invasive heart surgery has many advantages for the patient, however, difficulties in performing and implementing this procedure are not only found in surgical technique, but in the design of the anesthetic technique, which becomes a challenge for the anesthesiologist. This article presents the first two cases of minimally invasive mitral valve replacement performed in the country. The anesthetic techniques and obtained results are described, and the advantages and complications of these two techniques (anesthesia and surgery) are discussed. Although this series is small, we believe that it is the basis for developing this technique in our center, which is a safe option for patients with mitral valve disease who are not accepted for interventional cardiology.
