  • Title: Complex repair of a Barlow's valve using the Da Vinci robotic surgical system.
    Author: Masroor S, Plambeck C, Dahnert M.
    Journal: J Heart Valve Dis; 2010 Sep; 19(5):593-5. PubMed ID: 21053737.
    Abstract:
    Robotic mitral valve repair is increasingly being used for mitral valve repair. However, the repair of a bileaflet prolapse (especially Barlow's type) is difficult and not often considered suitable for a robotic-assisted approach. The case is reported of a successful robotic-assisted repair of a Barlow's valve, including posterior leaflet resection, chordal transfer, cleft repair, construction of Gore-Tex neo-chords, bilateral commissuroplasties, and a flexible/partial annuloplasty. The total cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp times were 231 and 183 min, respectively. The patient was discharged home on the third postoperative day and is doing well one year later, with no residual mitral regurgitation.
