Robotically-Assisted Mitral Valve Repair Surgery Keeps Joe in the Band
Joe Santoro, 57, had been dealing with mitral valve disease for almost a decade when his cardiologist told him the new symptoms he had were caused by an additional heart condition – atrial fibrillation. His doctor advised him to undergo a procedure to treat the valve disease. Joe, a first-grade teacher and musician, decided to get a second opinion. He chose Cleveland Clinic Florida, where he met with Jose L. Navia, MD, Director of the Cleveland Clinic Florida Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute and Minimally Invasive Valve Program.

Learn About Your Options
Collaborative team
You receive care from subspeciality-trained specialists, including surgeons, cardiologists, intensivists and pulmonologists. Together, this team provides care for a wide range of heart conditions.
Advanced surgical options
We carefully consider our patients’ conditions using the latest technology to determine the best treatment options and qualification for a minimally invasive approach. Open-heart surgery has long been the standard of care for most patients with heart failure, congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, aneurysms and coronary artery disease . More recently, however, minimally invasive procedures, such as robotic-assisted valve repair, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the MitraClip™ procedures, have emerged as safe and effective alternatives for patients with advanced and complex heart disease.
Compared with traditional surgery, the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:
- Smaller incisions with minimal scarring
- Less trauma to the patient, including less pain
- Shorter hospital stay (usually 3 to 4 days)
- Decreased use of pain medications
- Less bleeding
- Decreased risk of infection
- Shorter recovery and quicker return to daily and professional activities
Our heart transplant program is among the top in the nation for volume, safety and quality. We also have shorter wait times for people receiving donor hearts.
