“…They found that in their series of patients the initiating electrical focus of atrial fibrillation formed around the junction of the left atrium pulmonary vein junction; specifically, the left superior vein was most common. Based on this observation, much work has been done in the past several years to develop a less-invasive surgical option to achieve pulmonary vein ablation (13)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”

“…one small (n = 16) series of patients undergoing robotic MV/AF surgery using the Flex-10 microwave catheter (Guidant, Indianapolis, IN) from our own institution has been reported (30). The ablative procedure added 42 ± 16 minutes to the MV repair and 1.3 days to hospitalization.…”

Minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized the surgical field over the last two decades. Robotic assisted surgery is the latest iteration towards less invasive techniques. cardiac surgeons have slowly adapted minimally invasive and robotics techniques into their armamentarium. in particular, minimally invasive mitral valve surgery has evolved over the last decade and become the preferred method of mitral valve repair and replacement at certain specialized centres worldwide because of excellent results. We have developed a robotic mitral valve surgery program which utilizes the da Vinci ® telemanipulation system allowing the surgeon to perform complex mitral valve repairs through 5mm port sites rather than a traditional median sternotomy. in this rapidly evolving field, we review the evolution and clinical results of robotically-assisted mitral valve surgery and take a look at the other cardiac surgical procedures for which da Vinci ® is currently being used.
