Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is the most common type of mitral regurgitation (MR), affecting up to 3.3 million individuals in the United States (1,2). The disease mechanism in secondary MR is largely ventricular—annular dilation, altered left ventricular geometry, leaflet tethering, insufficient leaflet coaptation—rather than valvular. The current standard of treatment, restrictive mitral annuloplasty (RMA), is…

The patient is a thirty-eight-year-old man with a familial history of dilated cardiomyopathy who initially presented to the hospital with shortness of breath. Workup revealed new onset atrial fibrillation, severe mitral regurgitation with P2 prolapse, and cardiogenic shock (LVEF 24 percent). He required inotropic support and placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump. Given his acute…
Paraesophageal hernia repair with fundoplication is a case that utilizes the strengths of robotic-assisted surgery well. This video reviews the technical details of robotic-assisted paraesophageal hernia repair, with a focus on operative anatomy and key steps to help give early learners a framework for understanding this operation. Starting with patient positioning, patient and robot setup…
