State of the art and new frontiers in robotic mitral valve surgery

Abstract

The field of totally endoscopic, robotic-assisted mitral valve surgery has progressively gained popularity over the last twenty-five years. In this editorial, we sought to discuss this expanding field from a historical perspective, a technical perspective, and a training perspective.
