Abstract
Exposure of the mitral valve can be challenging using conventional sternotomy and thoracotomy incisions in patients with pectus deformity. We report the use of a robotic approach to replace a rheumatic mitral valve in a patient with pectus excavatum. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12740 (J Card Surg 2016;31:306-308)
