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.
