Hey Everybody,

After posting my video, "Patient Insights: Unwrapping A Cardiac Surgery Outcomes Report", I received a bunch of great feedback from the heart valve patients in our community.

One of the questions from patients was, "How can I access the Cardiac Surgery Outcomes Reports managed by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS). It's a great question with a very simple answer. Click here to access the Cardiac Surgery Outcomes Reports from the STS.

Gil Says This About STS Cardiac Surgery Outcomes...

In email from Gil Solomon, an aortic valve patient who is currently training for the Boston Marathon, he wrote to me, "In regards your blog on outcomes... I consulted it when I had my surgery in 2018 to help me decide between several different surgeons. They all had different opinions about what surgery to do and when to do it. You can click this link to see a video about my experience."
