A Case of Coronary Artery Fistula Ligation in Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Plasty via Right Anterolateral Minithoracotomy

We report a case of coronary artery fistula treated by ligation with concomitant minimally invasive mitral valve plasty via right anterolateral minithoracotomy. The coronary artery fistula was isolated well under heart beating, and clip-ligation was easily and safely performed. The present method is an effective and safe option for use with minimally invasive cardiac surgery
