Really important and well done study. Sets a benchmark for outcomes of mitral valve operations and interventions for mitral valve prolapse.

Robotic mitral valve repair is truly a minimally invasive procedure with majority of patients staying 2-4 days in the hospital and fully recovered in few weeks.

Excellent piece. I am convinced that I can do a better robotic mitral repair than open but the clinical evidence is very limited. This applies to most robotic procedures. New technology should at least be as effacious and safe as older procedure and optimally better.

Doesn't mean that you can´t call out subpar performance but that should be done in constructive manner and usually outside the operating room.

@njohncamm Beautiful repair. It is worth mentioning that majority of repairs for Barlow’s require more advanced techniques than only annuloplasty. This is only applicable in ~5% of cases where there is equal prolapse of leaflets.

@YaleCardiacSurg has always had a great and busy aortic program #AorticInstitute established by @JElefteriades . One year ago we were lucky enough to recruit @PrashanthVall12 as its Director joined by @RolandAssiMD . Now the team has performed over 70 TEVAR and hybrid arch cases
