Hemophilia B is a rare X-linked recessive disorder that places surgical patients at an increased risk of bleeding. Patients with hemophilia are now achieving near-normal life expectancies and therefore the number of these patients requiring cardiac surgery due to the development of age-related cardiovascular disease may increase. We present the case of a young male with hemophilia B who was diagnosed with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation and underwent successful robotic mitral valve repair. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with hemophilia B who underwent robotic mitral valve repair.

We describe a rare but interesting complication of totally endoscopic robotic mitral valve repair in a patient with severe mitral regurgitation. The mitral valve was repaired robotically by standard techniques, and the intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated no residual mitral regurgitation. However, there was unexpected hypokinesia of the posterior and lateral walls of the left ventricle, with subsequent electrocardiography showing acute ST elevations of the lateral segment.

Background: Simulation-based training has gained distinction in cardiothoracic surgery as robotic-assisted cardiac procedures evolve. Despite the increasing use of wet lab simulators, the effectiveness of these training methods and skill acquisition rates remain poorly understood.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare learning curves and assess the robotic cardiac surgical skill acquisition rate for cardiac and noncardiac surgeons who had no robotic experience in a wet lab simulation setting.

Purpose Of Review: Over the past 25 years, robotic-assisted mitral valve surgery has gained significant recognition because of its potential to minimize patient trauma and improve clinical outcomes. This field has evolved from early efforts in minimally invasive mitral procedures to more refined and technically sophisticated approaches, driven by the need for smaller incisions and reduced recovery times.
Recent Findings: This review will delve into the historical evolution of robotic-assisted mitral valve surgery, detailing the technical advancements that have shaped current practices and outlining the essential training pathways for a career as robotic mitral valve surgeon.

Objectives: Robotic-assisted mitral valve repair (MVr) is a well-established procedure for management of degenerative mitral valve disease. Limited data regarding concomitant robotic-assisted tricuspid valve repair (TVr) is available. This review investigates prevalence and outcomes of concomitant robotic-assisted mitral and tricuspid valve repair.
