Скачать или смотреть Mitral Valve Surgery: How to Choose Your Surgeon & Hospital

https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - When patients find out that their mitral valve needs to be repaired or replaced, they often experience a deluge of thoughts and emotions. In a short period of time, patients will need to understand their disease, their treatment options and more.

Perhaps the two most consequential decisions patients will make are who will perform the surgery and at what hospital the operation will be done.

To help mitral valve patients learn more about choosing a surgical program that fits their needs and to start making these important decisions, we recently met with Dr. Dominic Emerson, the Director of Robotic Cardiac Surgery at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Mitral valve surgery is one of Dr. Emerson’s specialties, so we were thrilled to have him offer his insight.

In this video, Dr. Emerson addresses several key considerations including:

Patient comfortability
Mitral valve incision and access points (sternotomy, minimally-invasive)
Surgeon and hospital outcomes
Mitral Valve Centers of Excellence
Traveling for mitral valve surgery
Robotic mitral valve surgery
Patient recovery
