Although surgeons have been performing robotic mitral valve repair and replacement for over twenty years, treatment for aortic valve disease has primarily been done with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) via median sternotomy and, more recently, with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using a percutaneous approach. Over the last five years, however, robotic aortic valve replacement has begun to emerge as a viable option for patients as more surgeons from the United States and around the world have learned from one another and mastered the technique.<\/p>\n
