Automated mitral chordal ePTFE suturing simulated through open and MICS access demonstrated quality handling and accurate placement of sutures in human heart specimens. A clinical trial using this technology is currently ongoing. This innovation may present an important advance facilitating enhanced minimally invasive mitral valve repair.
