We report a cohort of our first 100 minimally invasive cardiac valvular operations matched 1:1 by age and valvular surgery type with patients undergoing a traditional midline sternotomy approach. The prevalence of postoperative atrial fibrillation among patients with minimally invasive procedures versus traditional midline sternotomy was 26.3% versus 38.0%, respectively (p = 0.08). Neither multiple logistic regression nor Kaplan-Meier distribution analysis identified differences in postoperative atrial fibrillation between the 2 surgical techniques.
