Is it possible to use a right anterior mini thoracotomy for an isolated aortic valve reoperation? Is it possible to do this robotically? For extensive literature searching it seems that aortic valve reoperations have not been attempted robotically. SAVR redo via right anterior thoracotomy has been done, particularly with the suture less Perceval Plus Relyon valve. The Edwards Intuity Elite looks like a similar valve.  The Percival Plus Relyon anticalcification  treatment looks quite similar to the Edwards Resilia technology.   The Perceval valve seems to be the higher tech of the two.
