Description
Savini and co-authors report in 2025 early outcomes for total endoscopic mitral valve repair using 2D and 3D video at one center. Minimally invasive repair is becoming the standard for mitral disease, and better cameras sharpen precision while cutting trauma. Their series covers 239 patients from 2022 to 2025.
Median age was 63, and most patients had mild symptoms by class. Ring repair was near universal, with artificial chordae in 78.6 percent. Conversion to open surgery was rare at 0.4 percent, and hospital death was 1.3 percent. Postoperative atrial fibrillation hit 26.8 percent, while sepsis and dialysis stayed low. Median hospital stay figures close the report.
