Robotic-Assisted Mitral Valve Repair
California Pacific Medical Center
Our robotic-assisted heart surgery service, under the direction of Sachin Shah, MD,Opens new window provides a new option for individuals with mitral valve regurgitation. This condition--which affects about 5% of the U.S. population--can occur at any age in both men and women. With robotic-assisted mitral valve repair, surgeons use a tiny incision along with 3D, high-definition visualization and instruments to repair your heart. This offers the least invasive approach for fixing the mitral valve, and translates into a faster recovery and a scar that is barely visible.
In comparison to open surgery, robotic-assisted heart surgery can offer potential benefits of a shorter recovery time and hospital stay, as well as less pain and risk of infection.
While many people with mitral valve regurgitation have no symptoms, others may experience rapid heartbeat, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Our team works closely with doctors in local communities to determine the best procedure for you.
