About the Video:
Aortic valve bypass surgery provides an alternative treatment option to traditional aortic valve replacement for patients who are at a high risk of developing aortic valve stenosis. For these patients, aortic valve bypass surgery offers many advantages that can help them avoid both stroke and cardiac arrest during the procedure.

In this video, the Maryland Heart Center's Dr. James Gammie narrates the steps of aortic valve bypass surgery as it is performed on an 83 year old male patient.

About the Expert:
Dr. James Gammie is a cardiac surgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Center and an associate professor of Surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

  • Just learned about this surgery in my surg tech class! Awesome stuff!

  • Baby kangaroo tribbiani!

  • Having the ability to successfully do open surgery proves how amazingly advanced our society has become. To some people this might seem gross and unsettling, and it very well might be, but imagine, the man who had this surgery probably lived, while usually, without the surgery, you would simply die. This is the beauty of surgery, however gross it might seem.

  • The best part is 6:31
