• TAVI
• MitraClip
• Mitral valve repair
• Video assisted thoracic surgery
• Heart valve percutaneous
• Trans subclavian retrograde approach
• Transapical TAVI

The objectives are to present the different minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques to repair the mitral valve, TAVI and MitraClip, as well as the implications for the anaesthetist.
Evaluate retrospectively the anaesthesist methods, change in monitoring and how the patients are selected.
The mitral valve repair by minithoracotomy and video-surgery requires selective left intubation and monitoring by TEE. The TAVI methods seem to be working best under local anaesthesia and sedation for haemodynamic and neurologic monitoring. The MitraClip surgery requires an extensive monitoring during and after surgery.
In conclusion, the care of patients that are candidates for a TAVI requires the same level of expertise as anaesthesiology in cardiac surgery. The number of procedures performed under sedation will increase. These patients require multidisciplinary care (surgeons, cardiologists, sonographers and anaesthesiologists) due to comorbidities, and the possible haemodynamic, neurologic and vascular complications. These patients have an Euroscore greater than 20% and a STS score greater than 10%. In our experience, 80% of the cases are done femorally, 17% of the cases are done through the subsclavian artery (Corevalve (R)). 80% of the patients have surgery with a local anaesthesia and sedation. 20% of the patients get surgery with general anaesthesia. For the Edwards-Sapien (R) valve, when the femoral approach is impossible, the patient can get surgery with general anaesthesia using the transapical access.
