Cardiac surgery has a gradual change from traditional median sternotomy to minimally invasive surgery due to the appearance and application of peripheral extracorporeal circulation. There are great differences in the clinical practice of two different surgical methods in mitral valve operation. Minimally invasive thoracic surgery has the advantages of less trauma, less bleeding, faster recovery, beauty and so on. However, such surgery also has its weaknesses, such as longer learning curve, narrow operation space and high requirements of equipment. To compare the differences of early and long-term results in mitral valve operation between traditional median sternotomy and minimally invasive thoracic surgery is to better summarize and operate minimally invasive thoracic surgery for mitral valve surgery.
