Another happy Dr. Gillinov patient. I was contemplating flying out there but decided for Dr. Castro for my second surgery (just a half our drive for me, but that wasn't my main decision). He is excellent! Your scar is almost gone. May I ask why you decided on a porcine... Read more.

Hi Robert, yes, I'm another happy Dr. Gillinov patient. Mitral valve repairs/replacements are so specialized and worrisome so I sought out top surgeons and chose him. I believe bovine valves are more frequently used for Aortic replacement, which I may have to do later and I'd have a bovine one... Read more.

I am curious why for your mitral valve it was between mechanical and porcine. I was told I could also have a bovine valve, which supposedly tends to last longer compared to a porcine valve. Regarding the scar, my lower 1/2 shows significantly more than my upper 1/2 (which is... Read more.

Now, here's a guitar with heart! My brother made this to benefit ThScience Mill, a STEM based museum in Johnson City, TX. The fundraiser event takes place Oct. 22nd. He has made guitars for various non-profits but how cool is this!

A functioning oximeter can take the players pulse, connect with an attached... Read more.

Thanks, Ed, Cheryl, Richard and Ana! I thought it was great that of all science correlations to craft a guitar, he thought of our hearts. He took it seriously playing to the beat of melding science, art and music!
