AIMS: Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) (FMR) is common in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and worsens morbidity and mortality, even when mild. The CARILLON® mitral contour system (Cardiac Dimensions, Kirkland, WA, USA), a mitral annu...
The first step in the automatic evaluation of the cardiac prosthetic valve is the recognition of such valves in echocardiographic images. This research surveyed whether a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) could improve the recognition of prost...
In the mid- to late-1990s the cardiac surgery community began to apply limited incisions in mitral valve surgery. Ministernotomies and right-sided minithoracotomies were placed instead of the classic midline sternotomy. Adjunct technology such as vid...
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 ...

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...

We report a bilateral thoracoscopic technique in which robot-assisted mitral valve repair was achieved concomitantly with stapler division of the large left atrial appendage. The patient was a 65-year-old male with severe mitral regurgitation, paroxy...

Background Global longitudinal shortening (GL-Shortening) and the mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) are known markers in heart failure patients, but measurement may be subjective and less frequently reported because of the lack of autom...
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 ...
