Key result
Robot-assisted complex mitral repair with posterior leaflet extension using an autologous pericardial patch was successfully performed in a young woman with rheumatic mitral valve insufficiency.
Case Report (n=1)
Robot-assisted mitral valve repair with posterior leaflet extension using an autologous pericardial patch is a feasible surgical option for young patients with rheumatic mitral valve insufficiency.
Robotic mitral repair with autologous pericardial extension may be feasible in rheumatic disease; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Mitral valve repair has been one of the widely used applications of robotic surgery. Patients with rheumatic mitral disease usually present at an early age with thickening, retraction, or fusion of the leaflets and subvalvular apparatus. Robotic mitral repair can be feasible among this group of patients, rather than replacement. Herein, we describe a young woman who presented with rheumatic mitral valve insufficiency. A complex mitral repair with posterior leaflet extension with an autologous pericardial patch was successfully conducted using robot assistance.
