Key surgical operation steps of robotic mitral valve repair. (a) After the Chitwood clamp was placed, insert the perfusion catheter; (b) Incise the left atrium along the interatrial groove to explore the mitral valve; (c) Form the artificial chordae; (d) Perform a leakage pressure test in the left ventricle; (e) Place the Edwards Physio II annuloplasty ring, followed by a continuous suture; (f) Perform a leakage pressure test in the left ventricle after annuloplasty.
