Do non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic individuals experience disparities in access to minimally invasive mitral valve surgery? In this cross-sectional study of 103 753 patients, non-Hispanic Black individuals were less likely to undergo minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, whereas Hispanic individuals had similar rates of minimally invasive surgery compared with non-Hispanic White individuals. Non-Hispanic Black individuals were more likely than non-Hispanic White individuals to have Medicaid insurance and to be treated by low-volume surgeons, both factors being associated with lower rates of minimally invasive surgery. These findings suggest that efforts to improve equity in cardiovascular medicine may need to include expanding access to commercial insurance and high-volume surgeons. This cross-sectional study examines racial and ethnic disparities in the utilization of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. Whether people from racial and ethnic minority groups experience disparities in access to minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) is not known. To investigate racial and ethnic disparities in the utilization of MIMVS. This cross-sectional study used data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database for patients who underwent mitral valve surgery between 2014 and 2019. Statistical analysis was performed from January 24 to August 11, 2022. Patients were categorized as non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic individuals. The association between MIMVS (vs full sternotomy) and race and ethnicity were evaluated using logistic regression. Among the 103 753 patients undergoing mitral valve surgery (mean [SD] age, 62 [13] years; 47 886 female individuals [46.2%]), 10 404 (10.0%) were non-Hispanic Black individuals, 89 013 (85.8%) were non-Hispanic White individuals, and 4336 (4.2%) were Hispanic individuals. Non-Hispanic Black individuals were more likely to have Medicaid insurance (odds ratio [OR], 2.21; 95% CI, 1.64-2.98; P < .001) and to receive care from a low-volume surgeon (OR, 4.45; 95% CI, 4.01-4.93; P < .001) compared with non-Hispanic White individuals. Non-Hispanic Black individuals were less likely to undergo MIMVS (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.58-0.73; P < .001), whereas Hispanic individuals were not less likely to undergo MIMVS compared with non-Hispanic White individuals (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.67-1.75; P = .74). Patients with commercial insurance had 2.35-fold higher odds of undergoing MIMVS (OR, 2.35; 95% CI, 2.06-2.68; P < .001) than those with Medicaid insurance. Patients operated by very-high volume surgeons (300 or more cases) had 20.7-fold higher odds (OR, 20.70; 95% CI, 12.7-33.9; P < .001) of undergoing MIMVS compared with patients treated by low-volume surgeons (less than 20 cases). After adjusting for patient risk, non-Hispanic Black individuals were still less likely to undergo MIMVS (adjusted OR [aOR], 0.88; 95% CI, 0.78-0.99; P = .04) and were more likely to die or experience a major complication (aOR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.16-1.35; P < .001) compared with non-Hispanic White individuals. In this cross-sectional study, non-Hispanic Black patients were less likely to undergo MIMVS and more likely to die or experience a major complication than non-Hispanic White patients. These findings suggest that efforts to reduce inequity in cardiovascular medicine may need to include increasing access to private insurance and high-volume surgeons.
