Short-term outcomes of robotic left ventricular patch ventriculoplasty for significant mitral annular calcification.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Surgical management of mitral annular calcification remains challenging. Our institution pursued a strategy of total mitral annular calcification resection with pericardial patch reconstruction of the left ventricle when primary atrioventricular groove closure was not possible. We present the short-term outcomes derived after implementing this strategy.

Methods

A single-institution retrospective analysis included patients with significant mitral annular calcification undergoing totally endoscopic robotic mitral valve surgery between October 2009 and August 2023. Mitral valve repair was performed in patients with sufficient posterior leaflet length. Patients requiring pericardial patch ventriculoplasty were compared with those in whom primary atrioventricular groove
