Episode 8 : Part B - Evolution in cardiac surgery with Dr. Celmeta

Friday, November 15, 2024 • Duration 08:07

Many significant medical discoveries were accidents, such as Fleming's discovery of penicillin in 1929. Similarly, in 1958, Dr. Mason Sones from the Cleveland Clinic accidentally injected contrast into a patient’s right coronary artery, leading to a cardiac arrest. However, this incident allowed the first detailed visualization of the coronary artery, eventually leading to the development of coronary angiography, which remains the gold standard today.

Dr Bleri CELMETA highlight these advancements, and explains the evolutions from open procedures to minimally invasive and robotic techniques.

Dr. Bleri Celmeta is a cardiac surgeon operating on the Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Unit in Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio Hospital (Milan, Italy). He graduated in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Padova-Italy in 2014, then completed his residency program in Cardiac Surgery in the same university in 2020.
