Dr. Danny Ramzy and the Memorial Hermann-Memorial City Team Perform 50th Robotic-Assisted Cardiac Surgery Case for the System
Last month, Danny Ramzy, MD, professor and chief of cardiac surgery, and the Memorial Hermann-Memorial City team performed their 50th robotic-assisted cardiac surgery case for the system. This marks a new milestone for the Heart & Vascular team.
“Our goal is to become a leader in the proliferation and adoption of minimally invasive and robotic surgeries,” says Dr. Ramzy. “I have devoted my career clinically, within research, and in teaching, to the proposition that the advantages of minimally invasive and robotic procedures offer less discomfort and faster recovery times for patients; greater efficiency for both providers and patients; and a higher standard of care for the next generation of patients and physicians alike.”
The robotic-assisted cardiac surgery program was launched in the summer of 2022 offering various robotic procedures, including robotic mitral repair and replacement, robotic coronary arterial bypass, robotic maze procedures, as well as right anterior thoracotomy aortic valve replacement, ascending aortic replacement, and myectomies.
