Robotic mitral valve repair was successfully performed in 3 patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation and severe pectus excavatum.
Is robotic mitral valve repair feasible and successful in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation and severe pectus excavatum?
Robotic mitral valve repair is feasible in patients with severe pectus excavatum, despite it being considered a relative contraindication.
Tasa de eventos absoluta: 0% vs 0%
Pectus excavatum is a relative contraindication to robotic cardiac surgery given the challenges of access and exposure. We present 3 cases of successful robotic mitral valve repair in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation and severe pectus excavatum.
