Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Minimally invasive mitral valve (MV) repair surgery significantly reduces trauma compared to an open heart procedure, which enables fast recovery and treatment to high-risk patients. Hover, limited vision and dexterity of the instrument at the treatment location poses a challenge for minimally invasive surgery. Additionally, MV repair surgery performed without cardiopulmonary bypass often requires the surgeon to deal with beating heart motions. By autonomous stabilization of the instrument, a virtually-still treatment location could be provided. This allows the surgeon to perform surgery as if the heart was stopped. In this study,  present and evaluate a framework that assists the surgeon by stabilizing the instrument for the beating heart MV motions. Our work contributes a robotically-actuated delivery sheath (RADS), which is stabilized in a realistic and functional MV model embedded in a heart motion system. The heart motion system is mounted on a six degrees-of-freedom Stewart platform, which reproduces beating heart MV motions based on pre-operative patient data obtained from three-dimensional magnetic resonance and ultrasound images. Experimental results shows stabilization of the RADS in a beating heart MV model with a mean absolute tracking error of 1.31 mm. The presented framework for stabilization of the RADS in the beating heart could be applicable to a wide variety of existing and potential future cardiovascular interventions.
