Cardiac Robotic Surgery Was Revolutionary for Marcel

Our patient Marcel had three blocked arteries, which caused him to have a heart attack. We placed stents in the first two, but the third one needed more than a stent.

Marcel opted for robotic coronary artery bypass surgery at South Shore University Hospital. He was amazed with the technology – and also amazed with how fast his recovery has been.
