Article Synopsis
- - Minimally invasive mitral valve repair techniques, including mini-thoracotomies and robotics, have greatly developed over the last 30 years, offering beneficial surgical options for patients.
- - A study tracked 1,412 robotic mitral valve repairs from 2005 to 2023, showing significant improvements in surgical times and high repair success rates, particularly among patients treated by more experienced surgeons.
- - Long-term results indicated a 92-93% survival rate at ten years and a very low rate of mitral regurgitation, demonstrating that robotic approaches provide effective and durable solutions for mitral valve issues.
