Abstract
Robotic technology offers excellent visualization and surgical precision but has not been established for aortic valve surgery. We present the first 2 cases of patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent successful robotic aortic valve replacement using a lateral approach and the Edwards Intuity® rapid-deployment bioprosthesis. Postoperative recovery was excellent, and both patients were discharged home on the fourth postoperative day. We believe this approach is valuable for robotic aortic valve replacement and may help to finally bridge the gap into routine clinical use, becoming a valuable option for the surgical treatment of the aortic valve in selected patients.
