Abstract
There are several types of annuloplasty devices for mitral repair. We present a totally-thoracoscopic robotic mitral repair using a new semi-rigid ring with a nitinol core that makes it malleable so that it can be inserted through a trocar. This technique combines the advantages of semi-rigid rings and a totally-thoracoscopic approach, which may further expand this approach to other aetiologies.
