http://www.or-live.com/motherfrances/1983 Heart Disease: On January 8th at 6 p.m. Central Time, Trinity Mother Frances Health System's Center For Advanced Surgery And Technology (CASAT) will host a live Internet webcast detailing the replacement a patient's heart mitral valve. The event will feature Neelan Doolabh, MD of Turner Cardiovascular Associates in Tyler. The heart valve repair can benefit patients who have a weak heart or need repair of a prior valve replacement or repair. The procedure is performed through a 1.75-inch incision between two of the patient's ribs instead of performing a sternotomy (separating and opening the rib cage through an incision in the sternum). The minimally invasive technique can reduce pain, post-surgical complications and significantly advance patient recovery time.
