Minimally invasive methods continue to become increasingly common in cardiac surgery. In particular, the utilization of thoracotomy in multi-vessel coronary bypass grafting and valve surgery has accelerated, but sternotomy is still applied in combined pathologies. A 76-year-old male patient underwent multi-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve replacement without sternotomy using bilateral mini-thoracotomy, as the patient was old, frail, and had many comorbid factors. In conclusion, this minimally invasive approach can decrease all postoperative complications, accelerate patient recovery, and achieve good cosmetic results.
