Outcomes of robotic repair for the degenerative mitral valve: a systematic review and meta-analysis

In degenerative mitral disease, RMVr demonstrates low short-term mortality and complications, with favorable mid- to long-term durability, including high freedom from recurrent moderate-to-severe MR and reoperation. These findings support RMVr as an effective and durable surgical approach to degenerative mitral pathology, underscoring the need for prospective, standardized studies with robust echocardiographic follow-up and case-mix adjustment.
