With permission from the patient to post, this 41-year-old active cricket player never expected to need coronary artery bypass surgery.
After seeking multiple opinions, he chose to have his operation at 𝗝𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗴𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 because he felt comfortable, informed, and confident in the plan.
He underwent a traditional coronary artery bypass via a sternotomy, the gold standard operation, performed with meticulous technique and supported by an exceptional heart team.
Today, he is going home on postoperative day four.
His pain? Minimal
His recovery? Ahead of schedule.
His message? If you have symptoms or a family history of heart disease, get checked out and seek a second opinion. It could save your life.
When experience, teamwork, and a culture of quality come together, patients do remarkably well.
Proud of this patient. Proud of our team.
