Abstract
A 34-year-old patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) underwent previous double-valve replacement in the aortic and mitral valve position. Bioprostheses were implanted because of an elevated risk of daily injury. Five years later the patient underwent re-replacement of the stenotic stentless mitral valve prosthesis. A right anterolateral mini-thoracotomy was used for operative access during both procedures, in order to preserve thorax stability. Patients with OI may benefit from minimally invasive valve surgery for primary procedures or reoperation.
Key words
