ABSTRACT: Using Mitral valve surgery through Video Assisted Thoracoscopy (MVATS), a poorly placed mitraclip was removed. During the same procedure, a mitral valve plasty, MAZE procedure and left atrial appendage removal was performed. With this video we aim to show that this can be done by a minimally invasive approach. Key words: Minimal invasive cardiac surgery - MVATS - Mitraclip - Mitral valve plasty - case report
