Abstract
- The most recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association heart valve guidelines recommend that prompt surgical correction of severe degenerative mitral valve regurgitation, ideally mitral valve repair, should be performed to decrease the risks of long-term mortality and heart failure risks associated with this condition. Mitral valve repair performed using a minimally invasive robotic approach can now be successfully carried out in nearly all cases of degenerative disease with very low risks of stroke or death. Experienced groups have further shown specific advantages of robotic mitral valve repair compared with conventional approaches, including reduced blood loss, lower risks of infection and atrial fibrillation, shorter hospital length of stay, quicker return to normal activities, and a superior cosmetic result. Herein, we discuss the current status of robotic mitral valve repair including indications, technical advances, safety, effectiveness, and durability.
