Outcomes of robotic vs nonrobotic cardiac surgery were evaluated using 1:2 propensity score matching of patients in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Operations included valves/septae (10%), coronary arteries (47%), and other. Mean costs were 7.5% higher for robotic cases. Robotic procedures had shorter length of stay (5 vs 6 days), lower mortality

This insightful paper compares surgery for degenerative mitral valve disease over a number of different "eras." Interestingly, the most recent data in what the authors term "era 3" (2005-2011) demonstrates that patients are being operated on at an earlier stage in their disease- with less symptoms than historic eras.
