Key result
Robotic AVR allows implantation of any valve prosthesis with minimal trauma and favorable early results.
Why the study?
Robotic aortic valve replacement is increasingly adopted with favourable early results, enabling conventional prosthesis implantation with minimal surgical trauma.
Provides a step-by-step procedural guide for performing robotic aortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis.
Supports feasibility of robotic AVR in select cases; leaves open need for prospective comparative trials before wider adoption.
Robotic aortic valve replacement is the latest advance in the field of aortic valve intervention and is increasingly being adopted by various centres with favourable early results. It allows surgeons to implant any commercially available aortic valve prosthesis (sutureless, biological, mechanical) in a surgically conventional manner, while offering minimal surgical trauma (sternum-free, rib-free, pectoralis muscle sparing). We present a step-by-step standardized procedure of robotic aortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis for a young female patient with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis in a unicuspid aortic valve.
