Robotic MVR, MAZE Procedure, and Appendage Ligation at King Faisal Hospital

This video series showcases a robotic mitral valve replacement performed by Dr. Feras Khaliel, a world leader in robotics, at King Faisal Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning traveled to Riyadh to film a series of videos with Dr. Feras Khaliel, who has performed more than 520 robotic cardiac operations, including the world’s first robotic heart transplant and the world’s first robotic left ventricular assist device (LVAD).

The series presents this operation in three formats:

• A summary video of approximately 20 minutes that captures the essence of a robotic heart operation
• A comprehensive video of approximately 50 minutes that provides a detailed account of the entire procedure
• The full operation narrated live by Dr. Feras Khaleil for those most interested in robotic cardiac surgery
