Background With the increase of highly portable, wireless, and low-cost ultrasound devices and automatic ultrasound acquisition techniques, an automated interpretation method requiring only a limited set of views as input could make preliminary cardi...
A 76-year-old male patient was referred to our institution with moderate-to-severe aortic and mitral insufficiency. The patient underwent totally endoscopic robot-assisted aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair. In this article, we present ...

Surgical treatment of mitral valve diseases has become minimally invasive. This study analyzed the follow-up results of patients after mitral valve repairs (MVRep) using the da Vinci robot. The clinical data of patients who underwent minimally invasi...
A 21-year-old female patient referred to our institute had been suffering from severe mitral valve regurgitation due to a rare anomaly: a typical cleft at the posterior mitral leaflet and the other partial one at the anterior leaflet. We successfully...
We experienced 3 cases of port-access robot-assisted totally endoscopic technique for mitral valve repair and concomitant coronary artery bypass. The right internal mammary artery was harvested, mitral valve was fixed, and the right internal mammary ...

PURPOSE: Carpentier's functional classification is a guide to explain the types of mitral valve regurgitation based on morphological features. There are four types of pathological morphologies, regardless of the presence or absence of mitral regurgit...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic mitral valve surgery has developed for more than 20 years. The main purpose of robotic assistance is to use multiwristed instruments for surgical endothoracic maneuvers on the mitral valve without opening the chest. The surgeon ...
