AI Article Synopsis
- A 76-year-old man with severe mitral stenosis and extensive calcifications underwent an innovative mitral valve replacement using the Sapien XT in the mitral position.
- The procedure was performed via a minimally invasive, totally endoscopic robotic approach due to the patient's high surgical risk and anatomical challenges that made traditional surgery unsafe.
- This novel technique presents a new option for native mitral valve replacement, particularly for patients with complex conditions that limit conventional methods.
Article Abstract
We describe the use of the Sapien XT, placed in the mitral position using a totally endoscopic robotic approach in a 76-year-old man with extensive circumferential mitral calcifications and severe stenosis. The patient was at high risk for traditional open surgery and a large mitral valve annulus prevented safe transcatheter deployment due to size mismatch. Our novel approach offered a minimally invasive technique for native mitral valve replacement in a high-risk patient with anatomical constraints prohibitive to conventional approaches. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12737 (J Card Surg 2016;31:303-305).
