In a CNN report on minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Bethencourt was interviewed on the use of the da Vinci procedure.
We report a case of dual mitral valve clefts in both theanterior and posterior leaflets of the mitral valve. Threedimensionaltransesophageal echocardiography (TEE) facilitates visualization of the mitral leaflet pathology andassists with accurate surgical planning. This rare mitralvalve anomaly is confirmed surgically and corrected withminimally invasive robotic technique.
On May 30 – June 2 of 2012, Dr. Bethencourt not only Attended the ISMICS (International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery) he also presented during a luncheon symposium on behalf of Memorial Medical Centers, Intuitive & da Vinci Surgery, the leaders in Robotic and Minimally Invasive development. His topic was “Recommendation for Building Successful Robotic-Assisted CARDIAC and THORACIC Surgery Programs at Your Institution
The Internet broadcast of the mitral valve repair surgery took place on OR-Live, a website making many surgical procedures available for physicians and the general public to view.
