Robotic Mitral Valve Repair: What Have We Learned After 2,000 Operations?

Key questions answered in this video include:

1. What are the advantages of robot-assisted mitral valve repair surgery for patients and surgeons?

2. Are their limitations to how and when the robot can be used to treat mitral valve disease?

3. Can the robot perform concomitant procedures during mitral valve repair surgery to treat other cardiac conditions including atrial fibrillation, atrial septal defects, Patent Formen Ovale, and tricuspid valve disease.

4. What questions should patients ask their potential robotic mitral valve repair surgeons?

5. What are the statistics for robotic mitral valve repair surgery at the Cleveland Clinic? Surgical mortality risk? Surgical repair success rates? Stroke risk?

I've just had this Mitral Valve Repair Robotic surgery about 24 days ago in the UK thanks to the NHS. I'm on the mend and recovering well ❤👍
