Robotic Heart Surgery (Part 2)

About the Video:
Heart surgeons are now using robots to help them perform multiple different surgeries, including coronary artery bypass operations. In this two-part interview with Dr. Johannes Bonatti, viewers can learn how the sophistication of these robots allows heart patients at the University of Maryland Medical Center to have bypass surgery without the traditional large incision. This results in a faster recovery and fewer complications for the patients.

Specific topics covered in part two of this two-part interview include:

Coronary artery disease
Angioplasty
Bypass surgery
Robotic bypass surgery vs. conventional technique
Hybrid operation combing bypass and angioplasty
