Robotic cardiothoracic surgery is expanding fast, but what does mastery require beyond technical familiarity? Join us July 17 for a CME course exploring operative strategy, decision-making and...

As we mark our recent 2,400th robotic mitral valve repair, surgeons reflect on how they’ve achieved a 99.7% repair rate and operative mortality of 0.04%.

Mitral valve re-repair is most feasible after early repair failure and carries low operative risk and good durability regardless of its timing, a new study shows.

In cases of mitral valve repair failure, re-repair is likely to be effective and durable whether done with new, shorter artificial chordae or with posterior leaflet resection.

In test of 4 models, 2 provided 'suboptimal' readings during exercise; none as accurate as chest strap
