www.Heart-Valv... - The utility of robotics for mitral valve repair surgery is becoming more prevalent as a minimally-invasive treatment for mitral regurgitation patients. However, there is often confusion as to whether-or-not a robotic approach can be used for mitral valve re-repair procedures (also known as mitral valve re-operations or redos).
For example, Cindy just asked, "My open-heart mitral valve repair from seven years ago is failing. Can robotic mitral valve surgery be used to re-repair a mitral valve?”
To answer Cindy's question, we interviewed Dr. Joanna Chikwe, a leading robotic mitral valve surgeon and the Chair of Cardiac Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. In this video, Dr. Chikwe addresses the use of a robot for mitral valve re-repair operations, mitral valve replacements, and the use of transcatheter mitral valve repair via mitral clip procedures.
