Abstract
Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) is one of the most complex and challenging procedures in cardiothoracic surgery. This approach coheres with the continuous trends towards minimally invasive approaches within the surgical field. To this date the learning curve has proven to be challenging. Patient-specific simulation, in combination with mitral valve modelling and three-dimensional printing can help in adaptation of this difficult procedure by enhancing surgical skills and reduce the learning curve. In light of this, we have developed a high-fidelity minimally invasive mitral valve surgery simulator with structural training program for endoscopic mitral valve surgery. In the current chapter we present the promising results of simulation-based training and adaptation of three-dimensional printing for minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.
