Key result
Extended reality demonstrated promising applications for pre-operative planning and predicting outcomes in mitral valve surgery across 15 studies involving 328 patients.
Why the study?
Given the variety in mitral valve pathology and surgical techniques, extended reality holds potential to assist surgeons, warranting a systematic evaluation of currently available evidence.
Does extended reality assist in pre-operative planning and predicting post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery?
Systematic Review (n=328)
Does extended reality assist in pre-operative planning and predicting post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery?
