ABSTRACT
The presence of breast implants can interfere with the
surgical exposure for the completion of a minimally invasive
heart procedure. We present a series of 7 patients
with valvular heart disease with previous breast implant.
We perform periareolar approach on the majority of cases,
preserving the capsule and removing the implant. It
is safe and feasible to perform a minimally invasive approach
through periareolar approach in patients with
breast implants without presenting complications and
preserving the cosmetics.
