Abstract[Abstract] Ten patients (8 males and 2 females, mean age of 58}10 years) of valvular disease (4 mitral and 6 aortic) underwent surgery by using minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Two mitral valve repairs, 2 mitral valve replacements and 6 aortic valve replacements were performed via partial sternotomy or parasternotomy. Cannulation of the heart for cardiopulmonary bypass was carried out in the same surgical field, placing a cannula directly into the superior vena cava and a second cannula in the inferior vena cava via the right atrium. Arterial return was through the ascending aorta. There were no intraoperative complications. All patients survived and could be discharged home with satisfaction. A mean size of skin incision was 9.5}1.0cm, hospital stay was 19.6}7.6 (11-34) days, and aortic cross clamping time, cardio-pulmonary bypass time and total operating time was 97.5}17.7 (70-122)min, 135.8}17.5 (111-158)min, and 287}58(230-400)min, respectively.
