Minimally invasive cardiac surgeries for aortic valve replacement (AVR) are still
a technical challenge for surgeons because these procedures are undertaken
through small incisions and deep surgical fields. Although AVR via vertical
infraaxillary thoracotomy can be a cosmetically superior option, a disadvantage
of this approach is the distance between the thoracotomy incision and the
ascending aorta. Therefore, we devised a technique to perform all manipulations
using the fingertips without the aid of a knot pusher or long-shafted surgical
instruments. This was achieved by particular placement of several retracted
sutures to the right chest wall. We named placement of these sutures the
"Stonehenge technique." In conclusion, AVR via vertical infraaxillary thoracotomy
with our Stonehenge technique can be safely and simply performed with superior
cosmetic advantages.
