Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery III: Training and Robotic-Assisted Approaches

Minimally invasive mitral valve operations are increasingly common in the United States, but robotic-assisted approaches have not been widely adopted for a variety of reasons. This expert opinion reviews the state of the art and defines best practices, training, and techniques for developing a succe...
