Concomitant Procedures in Robotic Mitral Valve Surgery

Abstract

The robotic platform may provide advantages over sternotomy including improved visualization and greater dexterity. With emerging evidence increasingly supporting the importance of concomitantly addressing tricuspid regurgitation and atrial fibrillation, robotic surgeons should be encouraged to perform appropriate concomitant procedures where indicated.
