Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Robotic mitral valve repair presents its own unique set of challenges. Neochordae implantation is one of the techniques used to achieve adequate repair of the mitral valve. Precise securing of neochordae is vital in achieving a meticulous repair. This article describes how to perform an efficient, reproducible robotic mitral valve repair using a string, a ruler, and a bulldog.
