ロボット支援による機械弁を用いた大動脈弁置換術：手技手順

Robotic aortic valve replacement is the latest advance in the field of aortic valve intervention and is increasingly being adopted by various centres with favourable early results. It allows surgeons to implant any commercially available aortic valve prosthesis (sutureless, biological, mechanical) in a surgically conventional manner, while offering minimal surgical trauma (sternum-free, rib-free, pectoralis muscle sparing). We present a step-by-step standardized procedure of robotic aortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis for a young female patient with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis in a unicuspid aortic valve.
