Popis: We report a bilateral thoracoscopic technique in which robot-assisted mitral valve repair was achieved concomitantly with stapler division of the large left atrial appendage. The patient was a 65-year-old male with severe mitral regurgitation, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and a large-sized atrial appendage. Closure of the appendage was completed off-pump using a left thoracoscopic stapler-division technique previous to right thoracoscopic robot-assisted mitral valve repair and cryoablation. Complete closure of the appendage was confirmed in thoracoscopic views. The bilateral thoracoscopic technique could be preferable for the minimally invasive treatment of mitral valvular disease and concomitant large-sized atrial appendage management.
Robot-assisted totally endoscopic mitral valve repair has been developed as an option for mitral valve procedures [1].
