[ Ссылка ] - In this special "Surgeon Roundtable" video, Dr. Marc Gillinov, Chief of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, and Dr. Daniel Burns, a leading minimally-invasive cardiac surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, address critical patient questions about robot-assisted mitral valve repair surgery.
Key questions discussed by Dr. Marc Gillinov and Dr. Daniel Burns include:
1. What are the advantages of mitral valve repair surgery compared to mitral valve replacement operations?
2. Is it true that Cleveland Clinic has a 99% mitral valve repair rate for patients with mitral regurgitation due to mitral valve prolapse?
3. What advantages does robotic mitral valve repair surgery provide patients? Durability? Recovery time? Less pain? Blood thinners? Life expectancy?
4. What tests will a patient undergo at the Cleveland Clinic to determine if they are a candidate for a robotic mitral valve repair procedure?
5. How safe are robotic mitral valve repair procedures at the Cleveland Clinic?
6. Why is robotic mitral valve repair surgery considered a specialty at cardiac centers that focus on minimally-invasive heart valve techniques?
7. How many robotic mitral valve repair operations has the Cleveland Clinic performed? What are the surgical outcomes?
8. Why do patients travel from around the county and around the world to have robotic mitral valve repair surgery at leading cardiac centers including the Cleveland Clinic?
If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment or second opinion with Dr. Gillinov or Dr. Burns, please call the Cleveland Clinic's Heart Nurse Resource Center at (888) 517-2087.
