Our team currently performs the world’s smallest incisions for mitral valve repair surgery using an endoscopic robotic approach with all percutaneous cannulation. Largest incision in the entire body is the 8mm working port (approx. the diameter of a pen)

TAVI, SAVR Almost Equally Performed in California Patients Under 60

The analysis, for 2013-2021, found a higher death risk at 5 years with TAVI, but some urged caution in interpreting that finding.

To add to this historic case, the patient was the first ever patient discharged from @TJUHospital on post-operative day #1 after open heart surgery! Zero pain in part due to @AtriCure cryoablation technique we have been using.
