Robotic Mitral Valve Repair With Severe Pectus Excavatum

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the feasibility and outcomes of robotic mitral valve repair in patients with severe pectus excavatum.
• Presented three cases of patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation and severe pectus excavatum who underwent robotic mitral valve repair.
• Focused on access and exposure challenges due to pectus excavatum during the surgical procedure.
• Successfully repaired mitral valves in all three cases, demonstrating the viability of the procedure despite anatomical challenges.
• No major complications reported, indicating a favorable safety profile for the robotic approach.
