Robotic Mitral Valve Repair in Patients With Thoracic Deformity
Background: Robotic mitral valve repair (MVr) offers superior visualization and dexterity, potentially overcoming challenges in severe thoracic deformity such as pectus excavatum. This study compared surgical outcomes after MVr in patients with and without thoracic deformity and assessed the impact of thoracic deformity on operative times in robotic MVr.
