Hey there,
In case you missed it… I just posted a new article and video about robotic mitral valve replacement that is getting a huge response from our patient community.

So you know, the use of robots for mitral valve repair originally received FDA approval in 2002.
However, the use of robots for mitral valve replacement is relatively new thanks to fantastic enhancements in heart valve replacement devices including the Epic Plus valve. In addition, the Epic Plus valve offers patients several innovations specific to valve-in-valve procedures and enhanced durability that you can learn about at this link.
Keep on tickin!
