Minimally-invasive surgery to repair the mitral valve has evolved a lot over the years. Dr. Arnar Geirsson shares how robotic surgery works and why it’s a great option for most people who need surgical intervention for mitral valve disease.

2023年7月31日 · A successful robotic mitral valve repair depends on patient selection and an organized, stepwise approach in the operating room.

Robotic MV repair is safe and effective with excellent long-term results, including echocardiographic data that demonstrated early improvement in cardiac chamber size and maintenance of postoperative cardiac function. Exceedingly low mortality rates and freedom from reoperation are comparable to those of the standard open repair.

At Emory, most of our mitral valve repairs are done using minimally invasive procedures, including robotic mitral valve surgery and percutaneous mitral valve clip placement.

2020年11月13日 · For people who need a mitral valve repair, studies have shown that robotic surgery may be better than other minimally invasive approaches for many reasons—it is associated with less bleeding, trauma, chance of infection, and need for …

2014年8月23日 · Robot-assisted mitral valve repair represents the least invasive surgical approach currently available for anatomical mitral valve repair in patients with myxomatous mitral valve disease.

Robotic mitral valve repair presents its own unique set of challenges. Neochordae implantation is one of the techniques used to achieve adequate repair of the mitral valve. Precise securing of neochordae is vital in achieving a meticulous repair.

Patient selection is a critically important step in robotic mitral valve repair. Technically, nearly all mitral patients can have robotic surgery, yet not all should. The highest priority is to provide a safe, effective operation.

2024年5月4日 · There are different options for repairing a mitral valve, including a surgical incision through the sternum, minimally invasive robotic repair, and a transcatheter approach, each with its own benefits and risks.

Robotic heart surgeons affiliated with Memorial Hermann are repairing and replacing diseased mitral valves robotically. And some patients with longstanding or difficult to manage AFib are benefitting from a new procedure called a robotic Convergent procedure.

Robot-assisted mitral valve (MV) repair was introduced in the late 1990s with the goal of improving the technical precision of less-invasive surgical MV reconstruction. The broad advantages of robotic MV repair include an excellent 3-dimensional view of the valve pathology and better maneuverability of the endoscopic instruments (Figure 1).

Robotic mitral valve repair surgery (MVR) is the procedure of choice at IU Health to fix leaking mitral valves. Rather than opening the chest through the breastbone in a traditional sternotomy procedure, robotic MVR uses the da Vinci XI Robotic Surgical System to enter the chest through three small incisions, the largest measuring about an inch ...

Robotic mitral valve replacement and repair are advanced surgical procedures designed to address issues related to the mitral valve, a crucial component of the heart. The mitral valve regulates blood flow between the left atrium and ventricle, ensuring efficient circulation.

At Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital, patients with mitral valve disease now have access to a groundbreaking robotic mitral valve repair program—the only one of its kind in Greater Metro Detroit. For 62-year-old Robert Lauro, this innovative approach meant the difference between a long, difficult recovery and quickly ...

Robotic-assisted mitral valve repair – Uses precision technology for enhanced accuracy. Nationally recognized for mitral valve surgery; Pulmonary Valve Surgery. Pulmonary valve repair – Restores proper blood flow between the heart and lungs. Surgical removal of clots – Treats conditions like pulmonary hypertension.

The MitraClip® device treats mitral regurgitation by allowing the mitral valve to close more completely, helping restore normal blood flow. ... The MitraClip® is a device that cardiac specialists at CAMC use to perform a procedure called percutaneous mitral valve repair. This means surgeons use a needle instead of open surgery.

2025年1月28日 · [1] in the 2005 publication of the FDA multicentre trial on robotic mitral valve repair state a drop of operating time from ∼325 min in case 1 to below 200 min in case 20, cardiopulmonary bypass times and myocardial ischaemic times dropped accordingly.

Robotic mitral valve repair is a minimally-invasive procedure requiring only very small incisions that provides patients several advantages including less pain and faster recovery times.

2025年1月23日 · The AltaValve System is one of the first transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) devices being offered through clinical trials. Its unique atrial fixation mechanism is designed to minimize complications associated with other TMVR devices, such as obstruction of the heart’s left ventricular outflow or damage to surrounding heart structures.

Mitral valve replacement is a procedure whereby the diseased mitral valve of a patient's heart is replaced by either a mechanical or tissue (bioprosthetic) valve.. The mitral valve may need to be replaced because: [1] The valve is leaky (mitral valve regurgitation)The valve is narrowed and doesn't open properly (mitral valve stenosis)Causes of mitral valve disease include infection ...
