Mayo Clinic Minute: Robotic mitral valve surgery

It’s surgery to repair the valve leading to the largest chamber in your heart, the mitral valve.

But for more than a decade, heart surgeons at Mayo Clinic also have performed a less-invasive mitral valve surgery, using a robot.

Patients treated robotically enjoy a more rapid recovery. And after performing nearly 1,000 of these procedures, the success rate at Mayo Clinic is 99%.
