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 ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ด๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น 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.
