Objective To compare the outcomes of repeated tricuspid valve surgery for patients with late severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after cardiac surgery through right anterior minithoracotomy and conventional median sternotomy approaches. Methods Between June 2002 and June 2013, 89 patients with late severe tricuspid regurgitation after cardiac surgery underwent repeated tricuspid valve surgery through right anterior minithoracotomy in our hospital. The patients were divided into two groups. Fifty one patients were in a minimally invasive group with 28 males and 23 females at age of 46.59±11.53 years. Thirty eight patients were in a conventional median sternotomy (conventional group) with 15 males and 23 females at age of 50.42±9.30 years. The outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results There was no statisitcal difference in preoperative clinical data between two groups. All patients successfully underwent repeated tricuspid valve surgery. Tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) was performed in 68 patients (38 patients vs. 30 patients), and tricuspid valvuloplasty (TVP) was performed in 21 patients (13 patients vs. 8 patients). Compared with the conventional group, operation time, time of establishing cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperative in-hospital time were significantly shorter in the minimally invasive group (P<0.001). The postoperative drainage was significantly reduced in the minimally invasive group compared with the value of the conventional group (P<0.001). Three patients died in the early postoperative period (1 patient vs. 2 patients). In the conventional group, one patient needed re-exploration for bleeding and 2 patients had wound infection. At discharge, transthoracic echocardiography showed that all patients had no or mild TR and no paravalvular leakage occurred. During the follow-up (12-144 months), 4 patients died (2 patients vs. 2 patients). In the minimally invasive group, one patient underwent repeated TVR due to severe TR associated with infective endocarditis, and another patient had moderate TR. In the conventional group, one patient underwent repeated TVR due to mechanical valve thrombosis. Conclusion Right anterior minithoracotomy is safe, effective and reliable for patients with late severe TR after cardiac surgery. It has the similar effect of the correction of valvular lesions with conventional median sternotomy, but right anterior minithoracotomy has more benefits, including more, minimally invasive, less blood loss, shorter operation time and faster recover.
