“Can I Get A Safe Minimally-Invasive Aortic Valve Repair?” asks Peter

I just received a great question from Peter who asked me, “I was diagnosed with aortic valve regurgitation. Can this procedure be done safely using minimally invasive techniques? What questions should I ask to figure out if the surgeon has enough experience and expertise?”

To provide Peter (and you) an expert response, I was very fortunate to interview Dr. Hiroo Takayama, Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, during the American Association for Thoracic Surgery conference.
