Severe mitral valve stenosis, moderate aortic valve stenosis

  Patient: Two years ago severe mitral stenosis, moderate aortic stenosis, moderate-severe regurgitation, can I have a small incision Can I have a small incision?  Doctor: Hello! Although this surgery is now a routine procedure in cardiac surgery, it is still a major surgery with many operations. But I personally feel that the current surgical technique of valve replacement under thoracoscopy is not very mature, and a double valve replacement like yours is extremely risky to do under thoracoscopy, at least not in Jiangxi province.  I personally do some small axillary incision surgery mainly for children with congenital heart disease, so as to reduce the surgical trauma, but also the traditional median surgical wound transfer to the axilla and obtain the cosmetic effect, so that the child later grows up psychologically have certain benefits, especially the girl’s beauty requirements (because the normal time can not see the surgical incision), but these surgeries are relatively simple condition, the operation is relatively small. The surgery is relatively simple and the operation is relatively less congenital heart disease.  It is advisable to face your condition correctly, and I think the former is crucial compared to the safety of surgery and whether or not it is a hidden wound!
