AB Aortic  valve  surgery  started  with  the  implantation  of  the  Hufnagel  valve  in  the  descending  thoracic  aorta  in  1956.  Its  evolution  over  time  has  culminated  with  the  establishment  of  percutaneous  catheter-based  aortic  valve  replacement  techniques.  As  a  new  paradigm  in  aortic  valve  replacement  is  ushered,  there  will  be  new  challenges  for  the  cardiac  surgeons  to  not  only  maintain  the  efficacy  and  outcomes  of  conventional  valve  replacement  but  to  provide  it  in  a  less  invasive  approach.  Modern  techniques  will  be  measured  against  conventional  procedures,  especially  in  the  older  patients  with  multiple  comorbidities.  Minimally  invasive  aortic  valve  surgery  holds  promise  as  an  effective  operation  with  reduced  pain,  improved  respiratory  function,  early  recovery,  and  an  overall  reduction  in  trauma.
