- Indication and results of minimally invasive mitral valve repair
- Patient selection
- Surgical repair techniques
- Complications
- Gain familiarity and knowledge in instrumental necessities for endoscopic mitral valve repair
- Practice and learn the basic techniques in endoscopic surgery for mitral valve repair on high-fidelity simulators
- Mitral valve repair using annuloplasty ring and neochords on high-fidelity simulators
Specifics of the simulators
- True simulated physical model of endoscopic port-access set-up whereby the operator can train from the basic technique to full complex repairs
- Disposable mitral valves and papillary muscles that have been created out of material resembling the physical characteristics of connective tissue giving the operator true experience
- Simulator can give feedback about the length and depth of each stitch on mitral valve annulus with picture of each created stitch. The operator can train his/her skills based on pre-set parameters of length and depth
