Robotic-assisted repair of aortic valve leaflet prolapse by cusp plication and annuloplasty

Robotic aortic valve repair with cusp plication and annuloplasty along with mitral repair.

Figure 1. Robotic-assisted aortic valve repair and concomitant mitral valve repair. A 55-year-old male patient with symptomatic moderate-to-severe AI and severe MR underwent robotic aortic valve cusp plication of the noncoronary and right coronary leaflets along with geometric ring annuloplasty. Concomitant P2-P3 resection and mitral valvuloplasty was performed. AI, Aortic insufficiency; MR, mitral regurgitation.
