Assessment of our learning curve by evaluation of the rate of perioperative complications defined as Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2) clinical endpoints. The number of minimally invasive (MIV) mitral valve procedures performed per year is shown in blue bars, and the number of perioperative complications defined as VARC-2 clinical points per years is shown in red bars. VARC-2 clinical endpoints include death, stroke, myocardial infarction, bleeding, vascular complications, acute kidney injury, conduction disturbances and valve related complications
