https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - Here's the good news... Robotic surgery can provide mitral valve patients a safe, effective and minimally-invasive approach for the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation and stenosis. There is more good news... The inclusion criteria for using the robot has greatly extended to many different types of patients thanks to advanced techniques developed by leading robotic surgeons.

To learn the latest about patient candidacy and eligibility for robotic mitral valve surgery, we spoke with Dr. Husam Balkhy, a leading cardiac surgeon at the University of Chicago Medicine. Dr. Balkhy specializes in robotic heart surgery and has performed nearly 900 robotic mitral valve procedures since 2006.

In this video, Dr. Balkhy discusses:

- How robotic mitral valve surgery provides better visualization of the valve using a 3D camera system, improving repair success rates.

- Why patients benefit from smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery with robotic procedures.

- How even patients with past heart surgeries or complex valve conditions can often qualify for robotic mitral valve surgery.

- The use of the robot to perform concomitant procedures for cardiac conditions related to mitral valve disease including atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and coronary artery disease e.g. (CABG).

- Why robotic mitral valve replacement, once considered difficult, is now a safe and effective option.
