    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old man, who had undergone open mitral commissurotomy 6 years ago, underwent re-do surgery (mitral valve replacement) with minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS), using lower partial sternotomy to the height of the right side second intercostal space. Cannulation of the heart was carried out placing a cannula directly into the superior vena cava and a second cannula in the inferior vena cava via the right atrium. Arterial return was through the ascending aorta. Cardioplegia was administered directly into the ascending aorta with intermittent perfusion. Valve replacement was performed by opening directly right side left atrium.
