Defect Repair

The growth and advancement of minimally invasive cardiac surgery in recent years has allowed robotic and totally endoscopic procedures to become safe and effective options for the treatment of patients with various diseases of the heart. However, despite these advances, outcome data for robotic correction of congenital cardiac anomalies are scarce. This is particularly true for robotic ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair with initial experiences only recently having been published by a single group. Here, we present the case of a 29-year-old female who underwent robotic totally endoscopic VSD repair due to persistent symptoms with resolution of preoperative shunting and severe tricuspid regurgitation following surgery. This unique case adds to the limited data currently available in the literature on robotic VSD repair to show that it is a safe procedure when performed by a dedicated surgical team experienced in minimally invasive robotic cardiac surgery. We feel that, in this setting, the benefits of a robotic surgical approach can be afforded to more patients with excellent results.

Invasive Techniques

Minimally invasive surgical techniques have been developed in order to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. These minimally invasive techniques have been applied to numerous fields, including cardiac surgery. Currently, mitral valve repair and coronary artery bypass grafting are the most common procedures performed robotically. Numerous studies have shown that robotic technology provides similar outcomes to traditional surgery, which is much more invasive. However, there are numerous barriers to performing robotic surgery, including the cost of robotic systems and the steep learning curve associated with these systems. It is predicted that the indications for robotic cardiac surgery will increase as these limitations are addressed.
