Robotic‐Assisted vs. Mini Thoracotomy Mitral Valve Repair for Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease
Objective Minimally invasive techniques represent an emerging standard of care for the surgical treatment of myxomatous mitral valve disease. Due to the limited availability of the daVinci surgical system at our center, a robotic‐assisted (RA) approach is generally reserved for patients with complex leaflet pathology.
