Abstract
In an extremely enlarged right heart, the repeated midline sternotomy was considered to involve the risk of massive hemorrhage. A right thoracotomy provides a convenient and safe way to approach the tricuspid valve in patient who have had previous heart surgery through a midline sternotomy.
