Atrial Fibrillation in Robotic Assisted Mitral Valve Repair

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is:

  1. To assess whether corrective rhythm procedure during robotic mitral valve repair produce reliable long-term results.
  2. To determine the incidence of new onset atrial fibrillation after robotic mitral valve repair.
  3. To determine whether rhythm plays a role in long term valvular function.
  4. As a secondary aim, we would like to study the outcomes of small subset of patients (10 patients) who underwent robotically assisted left atrial mass removal.
  5. As a secondary aim, we also plan to look at our robotic patients and compare them to the conventional repair cohort to study the various echocardiographic parameters.
