Back to Life in 10 Days: Robotic Heart Bypass Patient Story

Stephen Smith never felt sick — until a routine annual visit revealed a serious heart problem: a 100% blockage in his LAD (Left Anterior Descending artery). After a stress test and coronary angiogram confirmed the diagnosis, Stephen was referred to Bradley Taylor, M.D., a cardiac surgeon at the Lynn Heart & Vascular Institute, where he underwent minimally invasive robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery. Stephen shares how quickly everything changed, what it felt like to hear he needed bypass surgery, and how he was able to return to normal life within just days after his procedure. Dr. Taylor explains how robotic-assisted bypass surgery works, why certain patients benefit from minimally invasive techniques, and how small-incision procedures can reduce recovery time and risk. ❤️ If you have a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or unexplained fatigue, don’t ignore it — early detection can save your life.
