  • Dr. Rakesh Suri, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Corewell Health, shares details about a groundbreaking robotic mitral valve repair program that was launched at Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital in Royal Oak last year.

The video segment from MSN, titled "The Doctor is In: Cardiovascular Health and Robotic Mitral Valve Repair," features Dr. Joanna Chikwe, a cardiothoracic surgeon, discussing advancements in heart surgery, specifically focusing on robotic mitral valve repair. Dr. Chikwe explains how this minimally invasive technique allows for the repair of the mitral valve, which controls blood flow between the heart's left atrium and left ventricle, through small incisions rather than traditional open-heart surgery. This method reduces recovery time, decreases the risk of infection, and minimizes scarring. The segment highlights the benefits of this technology in improving patient outcomes, reducing hospital stays, and enhancing the overall quality of life for patients with mitral valve issues.
