is that a real heart

I'm amazed

I am truly amazed by your videos. Thank you for posting them. I am a medical school student and seeing these is very helpful and insightful. Thank you.

I am still amazed at what physicians can to. I had IE and a year ago I had Aortic valve replacement and have a pacemaker full time (heart block). I can hardly express my thanks to all the Dr's and Nurses who saved my life.
I was 41 when I went into the hospital and 42 when I left. A most delightful month in the hospital :-)

Thank you Thank you Thank you

great work Dr Blitz. This stuff is amazing, very interesting. Thanks for posting these videos.

I think what you have been doing is really good. also, how many years do you have to go to become a heart surgeon

Simply amazing!

Dr. Blitz,

I want to thank you for putting those videos on youtube so that everybody can see them. I don't need to repeat what cardio4life said about you being an excellent surgeon, I'd only like to add that I think you're a great teacher.
I'm studying medicine and I'll have my theoretical cardiology/cardiac surgery exams next week. Your videos helped me understand what books and lectures/seminars etc at the university couldn't do. I'm not planning to become a cardio surgeon/cardiologist (since clearly, I'm not made for that) but still, this made me more confident for my exam and increased my interest in this medical field.

Thank you very much. From a med student in Germany.

I've watch a few of your videos, and i must say very impressed with your temperament of discussion and direct explanation of the techniques you use. even though i'm not a doctor i do enjoy a good teacher and I'm saying with all sincerity, you do it exultantly. wish you all the success possible and look forward to many more videos.

... just stumbled over your channel and don't know what to say or think. I'm a former user of as well HeartMateLVAD as HeartMateII - totally 2 y 22 d and about 22 h - then I had my HTX in 2007.
Even if I have felt these surgeries on my own body, I have no problems watching such pictures, but it seams like many of the videos are being catagorized as "comedy" in "open societies" as YouTube. It may be kept in restricted areas.
.... All this "tech" is NOT just for fun ... it's fighting for Life with the Death !!!
--- Seriously: that's why I'm alive and having a great life today :-)
