Abstract:
We report the successful treatment of mitral regurgitation by remote robotic transcatheter edge-to-edge repair(TEER)under pure transesophageal echocardiographic guidance in a 70-year-old male patient with severe mitral regurgitation due to ischemic cardiomyopathy.The patient showed no significant improvement after coronary interventional treatment and guideline-directed medical therapy before TEER.Following a multidisciplinary discussion,a TEER procedure was indicated and performed.The procedure utilized robotic assistance guided by echocardiography,combined with 5G communication technology,to remotely operate the surgical robot in Shenzhen from Beijing.Postoperatively,the patient's mitral regurgitation was reduced to trace,symptoms were markedly improved,there were no severe complications,and the patient was discharged five days after the operation.The integration of pure echo-guided interventional technology with remote robotic operation holds significant importance for enhancing the capabilities in treating cardiovascular diseases at the primary hospitals.
