Susan Lynn Fowzi - I had minimally invasive mitral valve repair surgery on 12/1/17. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. The important thing to remember is that only the entry to the heart is different. The surgery is the same.

Dylan Kempers Fowzi, I had robotic mitral valve repair a year ago, and wouldn't call the robotic surgery "minimally invasive".
