About

Total thoracoscopic mitral valve plasty (MVP) is characterized by minimal trauma, minimal bleeding, and short postoperative recovery time. The learning curve of any new procedure needs to be evaluated for learning and replication.Using Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and Aortic clamping (AC) time as evaluation variables, we visualized the learning curve for total thoracoscopic MVP using Cumulative sum analysis. We also analyzed important postoperative variables such as postoperative drainage, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and postoperative hospital stay.

The retrospective study comprised 150 consecutive patients who underwent total thoracoscopic MVP from October 2017 to July 2021.
