Automated Suture Securing Technology in Mitral Valve Surgery: A Strategy to Reduce Prosthetic Dehiscence?
The use of an automated titanium fastener device seems to be associated with a lower risk of prosthetic dehiscence in mitral valve surgery. Due to the limited number of prosthetic dehiscence events and the potential for residual confounding, the results should be interpreted with caution.
