Reconstructive mitral valve surgery is increasingly done by minimal- invasive anterolateral thoracotomy technique in contrast to surgical approach by sternotomy. The minimal invasive approach is favourable regarding surgical trauma, length of hospital stay and amount of blood loss. This study is to investigate the neurological outcome after minimal- invasive mitral valve surgery compared to open mitral valve surgery by sternotomy. Pre-, intra- and postsurgical data from mitral valve surgery derived from the Basel mitral valve registry (collected from 2009 until now) will be analyzed.
