That is wonderful. Too bad that is not how my surgery that am having January 18th will be done.. But I guess with a bypass on top of the MVR, ..it is not possible at the moment..at least not here in Louisiana.
Where was your surgery done?

I had my mitral valve repaired by robotics and I had a cath to check my arteries which fortunately were clear. I was told that some bypass surgery can be done with the robotics. I personally don't know anyone that has had bypass with this procedure.
