Therefore, MIMVS is a common procedure for patients with degenerative disease [Raanani 2010; Iribarne 2010] as well. However, the safety of MIMVS in patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) has not thoroughly been investigated, due to the low prevalence of RHD in developed countries, where MIMVS is standardized [Miceli 2015]. Here, we investigated the safety of MIMVS for patients with RHD at Lampang Hospital in Thailand.</span></p>}, number={2}, journal={The Heart Surgery Forum}, author={Ushioda, Ryohei and Shirasaka, Tomonori and Sakboon, Boonsap and Cheewinmethasiri, Jaroen and Yoongtong, Dit and Hirofuji, Aina and Kamiya, Hiroyuki and Arayawudhikul, Nuttapon}, year={2023}, month={Apr.}, pages={E178-E182} }
