Repair complexity was scored in 3 categories. We analysed our sequential case experience by quartiles.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patient mean age was 60.8\u2009years (range 18\u201388). Aetiologies included: degenerative 382 (76.4%), functional 37 (7.4%), inflammatory 22 (4.4%) and others 59 (11.8%). Mitral annular calcification was present in 64 (12.8%) cases. Simple MV repair (annuloplasty alone or with 1 leaflet segment repair) was performed in 240 (48%) patients, complex (repair involving more than 1 segment on the same leaflet) in 140 (28%) patients and most complex (bileaflet repair or mitral annular calcification excision with atrioventricular groove repair) in 120 (24%) patients. Concomitant procedures included: left appendage closure (94.8%), patent foramen ovale\/atrial septal defect (PFO\/ASD) closure (19.6%), cryoablation (19.4%), tricuspid repair (6.2%) or hybrid percutaneous coronary revascularization (7.8%). The overall repair rate was 99.4%, with 0.6% early mortality and 1.2% stroke rate (0.2% permanent neurological deficit). Case complexity increased with our experience. Despite an increase in aortic occlusion and perfusion times (median 86.5 and 125\u2009min) and a slight decrease in operating room extubation rate (overall 64%), length of hospital stay (median 4\u2009days) and 30-day readmission rate (overall 3.6%) were not affected by the progressive inclusion of more complex cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Totally endoscopic robotic MV repair performed by a dedicated team allows one to address the entire spectrum of pathological complexity and provides consistent results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezz029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,23]],"date-time":"2019-01-23T23:42:46Z","timestamp":1548286966000},"page":"470-478","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Can complex mitral valve repair be performed with robotics?
