Robotic Mitral Valve Repair: Techniques and Results

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Atlas of Robotic Cardiac Surgery

Abstract

In this chapter we detail systematic approaches to performing robotic mitral valve repairs. Particular attention is given to techniques for repairing both simple and complex anterior and posterior leaflet pathology. Herein, we describe the robotic setup as well as instruments and new suturing techniques used in performing robotic mitral valve repairs.
