Abstract
Functional QOL outcomes within the first 2 years after early MV repair are excellent using open and robotic platforms. A robotic approach may be associated with slightly improved early QOL and return to employment-based activities. These results may have implications regarding future evolution of clinical guidelines and economic health care policy.
