How Can You Do Heart Surgery Through a Hole in the Groin?

Welcome to the 4th and final Medical Monday mini-series episode of Heart to Heart with Anna for Heart Month, February 2023. How can you do heart surgery through a hole in the groin? It seems like magic, but is it? What is a Maze Procedure? Why might someone need a pacemaker, even if they've had an ablation? How can heart valves be replaced via catheterization? Tune in to hear certified, registered nurse anesthetist, Frank Jaworski, explain how these heart surgeries can occur, what kinds of problems doctors face when doing these procedures, and why anyone would want to have a procedure done this way rather than through open-heart surgery.
