Keyhole AVR

[PAN]

Hi,

Had a quick search and didn't see this posted. Keyhole mechanical AVR. Pretty impressive.

Fair warning, it's a surgical video Ah that's quite clear in the preview

Wow - this is really impressive! (THANKS FOR POSTING)!

So the questions is, do I have to travel all the way to Belgium? (Or is anyone doing this in the US?)

Hi @SiestaKeyJimmy

I think @Suckyvalvegurl mentioned on here a while ago that she had hers done using a similar method to this at UT Southwestern in the States:

Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Surgery | Conditions & Treatments | UT Southwestern Medical Center

We’ve performed more of minimally invasive valve procedures than others in North Texas, and UT Southwestern is leading the advancement of additional new treatments.

She seemed please with the result, if I remember correctly.
