Surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) is increasingly performed in elderly patients with good perioperative outcomes and long-term survival, resulting in significant health-related quality-of-life benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of patients aged ≥ 80 years undergoing isolated AVR through a right anterior minithoracotomy (RAMT) and compare it with a full sternotomy (FS).
