Operative setup of totally thoracoscope AVR. (A) Incisions of totally thoracoscope AVR; (B) After safe cross-clamping, cardioplegia was administered antegrade via aortic root vent; (C) Sizing the aortic annulus; (D) Inserting the U-sutures into the Medtronic Mosaic aortic valve prosthesis and firmly fix the prosthesis; E Adequate traction sutures at aortic wall better exposes the aortic valve; F Immediately after wound closure.
