Abstract Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement is commonly used to treat aortic valve disease through smaller incisions and upper hemisternotomy. No major differences in postoperative outcomes have been reported compared with full sternotomy aortic valve replacement. In this case report, we present a rare complication of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction after minimally invasive aortic valve replacement.
