Minimally Invasive versus Conventional Aortic Root Surgery: Results of an Intermediate-Volume Center
Abstract Background We evaluate the outcome of aortic root surgery via an upper J-shaped mini-sternotomy (MS) versus full sternotomy (FS) in an intermediate-volume center. Methods Between November 2011 and February 2019,..
