1 Aortic Valve Replacement Through a Minimally Invasive Approach: Preoperative Planning, Surgical Technique, and Outcome  Andre Plass, MD, Hans Scheffel, MD, Hatem Alkadhi, MD, PhD, Philipp Kaufmann, MD, PhD, Michele Genoni, MD, PhD, Volkmar Falk, MD, PhD, Jürg Grünenfelder, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 88, Issue 6, Pages (December 2009) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2009 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 (A) A 6-cm incision (6 cm) is placed in the intercostal space of the right-sided chest wall and (B) a soft-tissue retractor and rib spreader are used for the minithoracotomy.

4 Fig 3 Preoperative planning variables at multislice computed tomography imaging include (A) distance measurements from the intercostal space to the next aortic spot, aortic annulus, and right internal thoracic artery, (B) length of the aorta for cannulation, and (C) diameter evaluation for the aortic annulus.
