Structured PICO
Is robot-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve surgery feasible and safe?
P
Population
167 patients undergoing robot-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (out of a series of 230 patients who underwent minimally invasive mitral valve surgery)
I
Intervention
Robot-assisted videoscopic mitral valve surgery using a voice-controlled robotic arm (AESOP 3000, n=152) or a computer-enhanced telemanipulator (da Vinci, n=15)
O
Outcome
Procedural success, duration of bypass and clamp time, and hospital mortality
Robot-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a feasible and reliable technique with low hospital mortality and operative times comparable to conventional procedures.
Limitations
- A number of problems have to be solved before the introduction of a closed chest mitral valve procedure.
Cite This Study
Autschbach et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Mitral valve disease (n=230). Robotic-assisted videoscopic mitral valve surgery vs. Conventional procedures was evaluated on Hospital mortality. Robotic-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve surgery was successfully performed with a hospital mortality of 1.2% and bypass and clamp times comparable to conventional procedures.
