Official Title: Unilateral Pulmonary Edema After Minimal-invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: a Retrospective Single Center Observation

Brief Summary: Unilateral pulmonary edema after minimal-invasive mitral valve surgery is a rare but in some cases severe complications, sometimes causing extracorporeal life support. The investigators have observed over several years 5 cases of instantaneous postoperative severe pulmonary edema. This is a retrospective analysis of over 200 minimal-invasive mitral valve surgery procedure.

Detailed Summary: Unilateral pulmonary edema after minimal-invasive mitral valve surgery is a rare but in some cases severe complications, sometimes causing extracorporeal life support.
