Heart surgery demands clear, detailed vision and extreme precision. See the intricate anatomy of the heart during mitral valve repair and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with adjunctive mediastinotomy using the da Vinci Xi® system. The da Vinci Xi offers highly magnified 3DHD vision for a crystal-clear view and precise instrumentation for facing the challenges of operating within constrained spaces and around critical structures.
See how the da Vinci Xi system enables robotic cardiac surgery for Drs. Loulmet and Grossi, allowing them to offer another minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical options for their heart patients.
Cardiac surgeons’ adoption of da Vinci systems has generated an extensive and substantial body of peer-reviewed publications, including the following recent papers.

Important safety information
Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including surgery with a da Vinci system, up to and including death. Examples of serious or life-threatening complications, which may require prolonged and/or unexpected hospitalization and/or reoperation, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: injury to tissues/organs, bleeding, infection, and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction/pain.
Risks specific to minimally invasive surgery, including surgery with a da Vinci system, include but are not limited to, one or more of the following: temporary pain/nerve injury associated with positioning; a longer operative time, the need to convert to an open approach, or the need for additional or larger incision sites. Converting the procedure could result in a longer operative time, a longer time under anesthesia, and could lead to increased complications. Contraindications applicable to the use of conventional endoscopic instruments also apply to the use of all da Vinci instruments.

Individual outcomes may depend on a number of factors—including but not limited to—patient characteristics, disease characteristics, and/or surgeon experience.
Da Vinci Xi system precaution statement
The demonstration of safety and effectiveness for the representative specific procedures did not include evaluation of outcomes related to the treatment of cancer (overall survival, disease-free survival, local recurrence) or treatment of the patient’s underlying disease/condition. Device usage in all surgical procedures should be guided by the clinical judgment of an adequately trained surgeon.
