Abstract
Assess the effect of minimally invasive valve surgery in obese patients with BMI ≥35 kg/m2 compared to median sternotomy approach From January 2003 to February 2013, 73 consecutive patients (24 males, 33%) with BMI≥35 kg/m2 (38.7± 4.4 kg/m2) underwent isolated mitral and (or) aortic valve surgery ± tricuspid valve repair by the means of median sternotomy (MS) or minimally invasive valve surgery (MIVS) approach.
