Robotic Cardiac Surgery
May 5, 2016
This article summarizes the current status of robotic approaches to mitral valve repair. The technique is suitable to all types of degenerative mitral valve disease, and the outcomes are similar to those for open repair.

In presentations recorded at the 2015 EACTS Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Johannes Bonatti, Franca Melfi, and Carlo Milli discuss topics in robotic cardiothoracic surgery.

Outcomes of robotic vs nonrobotic cardiac surgery were evaluated using 1:2 propensity score matching of patients in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Operations included valves/septae (10%), coronary arteries (47%), and other. Mean costs were 7.5% higher for robotic cases. Robotic procedures had shorter length of stay (5 vs 6 days), lower mortality
