Abstract

Mitral valve repair is infrequently performed in patients undergoing corrective surgery for failed mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in current United States practice. This article describes surgical techniques for reconstructive surgery after failed transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Nine patients underwent robotic-assisted mitral surgery after failed transcatheter edge-to-edge repair between 2008 and 2020 at a single center. Repair was completed in 88.9% (n = 8) patients, and freedom from >2+ mitral regurgitation was 87.5% (n = 7) at a median follow-up of 1.9 years.
