The aim of the study was to identify the impact of era and technical improvements on perioperative outcome after MIMVS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A tota of 1000 patients (mean age: 60.8\u2009\u00b1\u200912.7 years, 60.3% male) underwent video-assisted or totally endoscopic MIMVS between 2001 and 2020 in a single institution. Three technical modalities were introduced during the observed period: (i) 3D visualization, (ii) use of premeasured artificial chordae (PTFE loops) and (iii) preoperative CT scans. Comparisons were made before and after the introduction of technical improvements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 741 patients underwent isolated mitral valve (MV) procedure, whereas 259 received concomitant procedures. These consisted of tricuspid valve repair (208), left atrium ablation (145) and persistent foramen ovale or atrial septum defect (ASD) closure (172). The aetiology was degenerative in 738 (73.8%) patients and functional in 101 patients (10.1%). A total of 900 patients received MV repair (90%), and 100 patients (10%) underwent MV replacement. Perioperative survival was 99.1%, and periprocedural success 93.5% with a periprocedural safety of 96.3%. Improvement in periprocedural safety attributed to the lower rates of postoperative low output (P\u2009=\u20090.025) and less reoperations for bleeding (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). 3D visualization improved cross-clamp (P\u2009=\u20090.001) but not cardiopulmonary bypass times. The use of loops and preoperative CT scan both had no impact on periprocedural success or safety but improved cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp times (both P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Increased surgical experience improves safety in MIMVS.
