Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Triple valve insufficiency (aortic, mitral, and tricuspid) presents a complex surgical challenge.
  • Traditional open-heart surgery carries significant risks and prolonged recovery times.
  • Advancements in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery offer potential benefits for complex cardiac procedures.

Observation:

  • A 63-year-old female patient presented with severe triple valve insufficiency.
  • The patient was referred for surgical intervention at our institution.
  • A robot-assisted endoscopic approach was selected for the complex valve reconstruction.

Findings:

  • The procedure involved mitral valve repair with neochords and ring annuloplasty.
  • Aortic valve replacement was performed using a bioprosthetic valve.
  • Tricuspid valve annuloplasty was completed using a ring.
  • The surgery was successfully performed using three intercostal ports and a small thoracotomy.
  • The patient experienced no blood transfusions or intraoperative/postoperative complications.

Implications:

  • Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery is a viable and effective option for treating complex triple valve insufficiency.
  • This approach may lead to reduced patient morbidity, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to conventional sternotomy.
  • Further research and larger studies are warranted to establish long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
