Surgeon Q&A: Coronary Artery Disease & Heart Valve Disorders with Dr. Husam Balkhy

https://www.HeartValveSurgery.com - According to the National Library of Medicine, up to 27% of patients with severe heart valve disorders also suffer from coronary artery disease. As coronary artery disease can cause life-threatening heart attacks, we interviewed Dr. Husam Balkhy, Director of Minimally-Invasive and Robotic Cardiac Surgery at University of Chicago Medicine, to learn more. Dr. Balkhy, who has performed thousands of cardiac procedures during his extraordinary career, answered many patient-centric questions in this interview including: 1. Is it common for heart valve disease patients to have coronary artery disease? 2. What are the symptoms and the risk factors of coronary artery disease? 3. How is coronary artery disease diagnosed and detected in patients with heart valve disease? 4. What is a coronary angiogram and cardiac catheterization? 5. What are concomitant procedures for patients with coronary artery disease and heart valve disorders? 6. How are hybrid procedures performed by Dr. Husam Balkhy and the University of Chicago Medicine team? 7. How are minimally-invasive techniques including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and robot-assisted mitral valve repair surgery being combined with totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) to help patients keep their sternum intact? 8. What are the long-term surgical outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease and heart valve disorders?
