Robotic mitral valve repair following failed transcatheter edge-to-edge repair

Abstract Mitral valve repair is infrequently performed in patients undergoing corrective surgery for failed mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in current US practice. This article describes surgical techniques for reconstructive surgery following failed TEER. A total of nine patients underwent robotic-assisted mitral surgery following failed TEER between 2010 and 2020 at a single center. Repair was completed in 88.9% (n=8) patients and freedom from >2+ mitral regurgitation was 87.5% (n=7) at a median follow up of 1.9 years.
