Robotic Mitral Surgery

January 30, 2024
This video demonstrates a minimally invasive mitral valve replacement using an extracorporeal telescope, or exoscope, which allows for an enhanced image of the surgical field while being more ergonomic.

In this article, the authors demonstrate a novel technique of antegrade cardioplegia decannulation using the Cor-Knot system with phenomenal video and description on their case series. This technique has great utility in cases where closing the cardioplegia cannulation site can be challenging in minimally invasive video-assisted cardiac surgery.
