ABSTRACT
A 64-year-old man with a diagnosis of aortic valve stenosis presented with chest pain. The patient is a Jehovah's Witnesses and wanted surgery without blood transfusion. Therefore, we planned minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MICS AVR) avoiding sternotomy. He underwent aortic valve replacement with a mechanical valve (ATS AP360 20 mm) through a right anterolateral thoracotomy at the fourth intercostal space. The value of hemoglobin was 11.2 g/dl after surgery. He recovered uneventfully and was discharged 17 days after surgery. MICS AVR has the advantage of less risk of bleeding, therefore MICS AVR is useful for Jehovah's Witness patients who refuse blood transfusion.
