Abstract
Minimally-invasive Aortic Valve Replacement (mini-AVR) is being increasingly adopted in clinical practice. Training can be a challenge due to the inherent difficulties of limited surgical exposure. We analysed individual trainee experience in our institutional undergoing mini-AVR training within a series of our cases where all AVRs are routinely undertaken by this approach.

Mini-AVR was divided into nine component part-procedures including mini-sternotomy, cannulation, aortotomy, decalcification, implantation, aortotomy closure, de-airing and weaning, decannulation and sternotomy closure. 13% of cases (n = 23) were undertaken by trainees
