Robotically Assisted Mitral Valve Repair as the Treatment of Choice for Patients with Difficult Anatomies

Robotically assisted mitral valve repair has proven its efficacy during the last decade. The most suitable approach for patients with difficult anatomies, such as morbid obesity, sternal deformities, cardiac rotation, or vascular anomalies, represents a current challenge in cardiac surgery. Herein,...
