Robotic repair of mitral valve is a promising minimally invasive surgical approach for both simple and complex mitral valve regurgitation, with excellent results.

Stentless bioprosthetic valve produces better exercise hemodynamics and greater regression of left ventricular hypertrophy when used in the aortic position.
