Abstract
Ischemic papillary muscle rupture (PMR) is a rare, life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with operative mortality reportedly between 20% and 26%.1,2 Some studies suggest that mitral valve repair (MVr) facilitates superior outcomes than MV replacement for such patients.1 In contrast, robotically assisted MVr offers the most minimally invasive approach to the surgical treatment of MV disease, and its safety and reliability have been well described.3,4 Considering less invasiveness and reliable results, we believe robotically assisted MVr can facilitate favorable outcomes for patients with PMR.
