The aim of the study is to evaluate whether loco-regional analgesia reduces post operative pain compared to intravenous analgesia, in patients undergoing cardiac surgery in minithoracotomy. All patients will be randomized to receive locoregional analgesia (treatment group) or intravenous analgesia (control group), at the end of the cardiac intervention.
