Abstract
Many minimally invasive alternatives to aortic valve replacement through full sternotomy have been described. We report an approach through a right thoracotomy that has been planified in 2 patients with contraindication to standard thoracotomy. Exposure was excellent, and valve replacement could be performed safely.Entities:
