Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on Robotics is the subjec t of a report. According to news reporting out of Xiamen, People’s Republic of C hina, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “We present the first robot-assisted t ranscatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) for the treatment of severe mit ral regurgitation. 68-year-old patient presented with worsening dyspnea on exert ion and intermittent palpitations (NYHA class III). Transthoracic echocardiograp hy revealed severe functional mitral regurgitation (MR) with moderate left ventr icular and left atrial enlargement.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Xiamen Cardiova scular Hospital of Xiamen University, “Due to the patient’s high surgical risk ( STS score of 8.84%), a transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair was planned following heart team discussion. The final transesophageal echocardiogr aphy confirmed that the MR had reduced from the original severe to mild.” According to the news editors, the research concluded: “This case report demonst rates, the feasibility of a mitral TEER system with a robotic-assisted approach, potentially paving the way for future applications in structural heart and endo vascular intervention.” This research has been peer-reviewed.
