Special Webcast: Cleveland Clinic Surgeons Discuss Mitral Valve Treatment Using Da Vinci Robot
Posted By Adam Pick On November 25, 2008 @ 8:11 am In Announcements,Medical Advances | 4 Comments
As you may know, several of my readers (including Larry Larsson [1] and Leslie Lafayette) [2] had successful mitral valve repair operations using the minimally invasive Da Vinci Robot [3].
Guess what? I just learned that The Cleveland Clinic will host a live webcast on December 10, 2008 at 5pm (EST) to review the options and treatment of mitral valve disease via robotic surgery. Two of the top surgeons from The Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Marc Gillinov [4] and Dr. Tomislav Mhaljevic, will lead this event and discuss topics including mitral valve prolapse [5] and asymptomatic patients [6].

Even though I had a traditional sternotomy [8], I am definitely going to attend this webcast to learn more about mitral valve repair [9]using non-invasive, robotic technology.
Keep on tickin!
