An aortic valve surgery uses minimally invasive techniques that may last 2-3 hours. The endoscopic method, or keyhole approach is relatively simple. Before the surgery is performed, the patient receives general anesthesia. Next, 1-4 small holes are made in the chest. Then, the surgeon uses special instruments and a camera to complete the surgery.
