Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery III: Training and Robotic-Assisted Approaches

Innovations (Phila). 2016 Jul-Aug;11(4):260-7. doi: 10.1097/IMI.0000000000000299.

Abstract

Minimally invasive mitral valve operations are increasingly common in the United States, but robotic-assisted approaches have not been widely adopted for a variety of reasons. This expert opinion reviews the state of the art and defines best practices, training, and techniques for developing a successful robotics program.
