Very informative cardiac material.

Hi NathThomas, Great to hear you enjoyed this video with Dr. Marc Gillinov and Dr. Tarek Malas about robotic mitral valve surgery!

Can aortic root aneurysm be performed with robotic surgery? Thanks

[@HeartValveSurgery]

Hi, We are not aware of aortic aneurysm being performed via robotic heart surgery. That said, it might happen. But, we just don't know about it.

Hmmm ... Take a seasoned software engineer/architect. How might you persuade such a person that 'Robotic Mitral Valve Surgery' is the best option for his own surgery? (Not a trick question, but probably outside the scope of this video)

[@HeartValveSurgery]

😀 Yes David, Perhaps a bit outside the scope of this video. But, with over 2,400 robotic mitral valve surgeries complete, the outcomes at the Cleveland Clinic (e.g. repair rate) are fairly compelling to consider as you determine the best treatment option for you.

@@HeartValveSurgery. How about the success rate for mitral valve and aorta valve? My valves are calcified, no symptoms yet. 56 years old, 30 minutes anaerobic cardio 6 days a week. This is worrying me. I don’t want to do too much cardio and enlarge my heart . IV Opiate abuse years before
