Fig. 2 Intraoperative videoscopic view of mitral valve during minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. Annuloplasty sutures have been placed to facilitate exposure of valve and inspection of leaflet pathology. Markedly redundant prolapsed posterior leaflet P2 segment is demonstrated.

Fig. 5 Enhanced, near 3-dimensional visualization of the valve from the console is provided by 2 side-by-side camera arms, which can be controlled by the surgeon. Anesthesiology Clinics 2013 31, 299-320DOI: (10.1016/j.anclin.2012.12.002) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
Fig. 6 Strategies for providing venous drainage during minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. (A) Single long femoral venous cannula advanced into the right atrium (RA). (B) Long femoral venous cannula advanced into RA in conjunction with endopulmonary vent catheter placed via right IJ introducer sheath. (C) Long femoral venous cannula advanced into RA in conjunction with venous drainage cannula advanced into superior vena cava from right IJ.

Fig. 7 A 16F venous drainage cannula placed in the right internal jugular (IJ) vein and connected to the bypass circuit. Note a boxed suture placed around the cannula site. A separate 9F introducer catheter with pulmonary artery catheter is seen more cephalad in the ipsilateral neck.

Fig. 8 EndoClamp aortic catheter advanced through the Y-shaped EndoReturn arterial cannula, which was placed into the right femoral artery. Anesthesiology Clinics 2013 31, 299-320DOI: (10.1016/j.anclin.2012.12.002) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
Fig. 9 Mid-esophageal aortic valve long-axis view with EndoClamp aortic catheter seen inflated in the ascending aorta just distal to the aortic root. Anesthesiology Clinics 2013 31, 299-320DOI: (10.1016/j.anclin.2012.12.002) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
Fig. 10 (A) Well-positioned EndoClamp in the ascending aorta. (B) Distal migration (Shown by the arrow) of the EndoClamp and potentially obstructing flow to the innominate artery. (C) Proximal migration (shown by the arrow) of the EndoClamp, which may prevent adequate aortic occlusion or cardioplegia. (Adapted from Kottenberg-Assenmacher E, Kamler M, Peters J.

Fig. 11 Surgical field with access incision via small right anterior thoracotomy. The Chitwood clamp is placed percutaneously via an additional incision lateral to the access incision and is directed toward the ascending aorta under direct vision. The right femoral artery and vein are cannulated. Anesthesiology Clinics 2013 31, 299-320DOI: (10.1016/j.anclin.2012.12.002) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
Fig. 12 Chitwood clamp seen via direct vision in surgical field during external occlusion of the ascending aorta. The aortic root vent is placed directly through the access incision and is proximal to the clamp in the aorta. The coronary sinus (CS) cannula is also seen passing through the access incision.
