Heart Surgery Patient Journey

Heart

From Diagnosis to Discharge

After feeling fatigued for quite some time, Ginger went to the doctor and was diagnosed with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation. Her doctor quickly referred her to UT Southwestern’s Dr. Doolabh, who performs minimally invasive heart surgery – a perfect fit for Ginger, who did not want to go through the trials of traditional open heart surgery. Dr. Doolabh and Ginger walk you through the journey of a minimally invasive heart valve patient at UT Southwestern.
