Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve reconstruction via small thoracotomy are randomized into two groups.

The intervention group receives serratus anterior plane block after minimally invasive mitral-valve reconstruction, following 48h infusion with ropivacaine 2% continually.

The control group receives a placebo pump without infusion. Primary endpoints are perceived pain using a numeric pain rating scale and opioid consumption during the hospital stay.
