Mitral Valve Awareness: Recovery from Mitral Valve Surgery with Dr. Dominic Emerson

www.HeartValveSurgery.com - Thanks to new medical advances, the recovery from mitral valve surgery has greatly improved during the past 20 years. However, patients still have important questions about what to expect during the recovery from mitral valve surgery.
To help patients better understand the mitral valve surgery recovery, we interviewed Dr. Dominic Emerson, a leading robotic mitral valve surgeon from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.
Key questions addressed by Dr. Emerson in this video include:
1. What happens immediately after mitral valve surgery in the intensive care unit (ICU)?
2. What can patients expect in the first few days after surgery in the hospital (e.g. incentive spirometer, walking, pain management, family visitation)?
3. When are patients typically discharged from the hospital? What governs the patient discharge process?
4. What are the big milestones for patient recovery from mitral valve surgery (e.g. driving, exercise, going back to work)?
5. What is Dr. Emerson's number one piece of advice for patients recovering from mitral valve surgery?
