Key result
Beating-heart robotic redo MVR with Amplatzer plug resection is feasible for complex mitral reoperation.
Why the study?
Robotic beating heart mitral valve surgery is not well-studied, especially in the context of redo cardiac surgery involving mitral valve replacement and plug resection.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates the feasibility of performing robotic redo mitral valve replacement combined with amplatzer plug resection on a beating heart.
Redo-cardiac surgery is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Although redo surgery are relative contraindications for robotic surgery, robotic redo mitral valve surgery has been performed with endo-aortic occlusion techniques and on fibrillated heart successfully. Beating heart mitral valve surgery is another well-known option for redo cardiac surgery practice. Robotic beating heart surgery is not well-studied before. As a new point of view to robotic reoperation surgery, herein, we aimed to present a case who underwent redo robotic mitral valve replacement combined with dysfunctioned amplatzer plug resection on a beating heart.

Bolcal et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Redo mitral valve surgery with dysfunctional amplatzer plug (n=1). Robotic redo mitral valve replacement combined with dysfunctional amplatzer plug resection on a beating heart was evaluated. Robotic redo mitral valve replacement combined with dysfunctional amplatzer plug resection was successfully performed on a beating heart in a single patient.
