The aortic valve is the passageway through which oxygenated
blood flows from the heart and to the aorta, the main artery
providing oxygen-rich blood to the body. Stiffened or malformed
aortic valves may cause troublesome leakages or impede adequate
blood. Aortic valve repair is performed less often and is
more technically difficult than mitral valve repair. The da
Vinci® S Surgical System enables surgeons to make
small incisions between the ribs, greatly reducing pain,
scarring, risk of infection and patient recovery time over
the traditional “open-chest” surgery.
