Dr. Trento is a world-renowned heart valve surgeon that has performed over 4,000 heart valve repair and replacement operations that include minimally-invasive techniques.
All I can say to prospective patients is do your homework. I'm very sad to read about all the people who are going through long, painful recoveries when many may have been able to avoid it.
I wanted a less invasive procedure, but could only have a full sternotomy because of some previous radiation treatment to the area-for the record I had no pain - no problems getting out of bed or chairs, no pain sneezing - the sternotomy was a perfectly good way to go for me.
