Robotically assisted mitral valve repair—resectional techniques

Video-atlas on robotically assisted mitral valve surgery.

Value of robotically assisted surgery for mitral valve disease.

IMPORTANCE The value of robotically assisted surgery for mitral valve disease is questioned because the high cost of care associated with robotic technology may outweigh its clinical benefits. OBJECTIVE To investigate conditions under which benefits of robotically assisted surgery mitigate high technology costs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Clinical cohort study at a large multispecial...

Systematic review protocol: robotically-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.

The primary outcome measure is safety, including mortality and morbidity (intraoperative outcomes: operative duration, cross-clamp time, conversion rates; perioperative outcomes: myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, neurological adverse events, bleeding, transfusion, re-exploration, septic complications, pain, hospital stay, and discharge disposition). Secondary outcome measures include ...

Vídeo-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve replacement.

The use of minimally invasive technics in cardiac surgery has become widely discussed, aiming improvements not only in the aesthetics aspects but also better functional results. In this report, we present a case of a patient with severe mitral stenosis that underwent successful video-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve replacement.

Marcus-gunn phenomenon with- mitral valve prolapse

Marcus-gunn phenomenon is a congenital and sometimes hereditary anomaly, in which a ptotic eyelid retracts momentarily when the mouth is open, or the jaw is moved. These associated movements attributed to abnormal connections between the central mechanisms innervating the pterygoid and elevator muscles. Sometimes this anomaly is associated with dual,s retraction syndrome, duplex kindneys and ur...
