The combination of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement using sutureless/fast deployment valves has improved postoperative mortality. Black line: in-hospital mortality reduction from 3.4% in 1997 to 2.6% in 2006 for isolated AVR according to STS data (2). Red line: the introduction of sutureless valves associated with MIAVR has decreased the inhospital mortality from 1.6% in 2005 to 0.7% in 2013 (13,26). AVR, aortic valve replacement; MIAVR, minimally invasive aortic valve replacement; STS, Society of Thoracic Surgeon.
