    Abstract

    Midline sternotomy is consider as conventional approach for aortic valve replacement surgeries. However, sternum disruptions are responsible for increased rate of postoperative bleeding, pain and wound infection leading to longer hospital stay and patient discomfort. Right anterolateral thoracotomy with central cannulation is a minimal invasive approach can be used as an alternative over standard midline sternotomy procedure for aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgeries in developing or underdeveloped countries.
