Abstract
Our case report on complex mitral valve repair with concomitant Nuss bar reimplantation demonstrates the feasibility and safety of this procedure in challenging scenarios. The median sternotomy approach is safe for urgent open-heart surgery, even in patients with a previously corrected sternum due to PEx.
