Cardiology icons 2: Prof Chris Orton on mechanisms of mitral valve disease and trans catheter edge-to-edge repair
Message our hosts, Kieran and Jose.
Season 3 of The Animal Heartbeat is all about the Veterinary Cardiology Icons - those who walk among us as legends of the veterinary cardiology world.
This episode features Professor Chris Orton of Colorado State University. Prof Orton has been a leader in the field of canine heart surgery for over thirty years, having worked to develop both open heart surgery techniques on cardiopulmonary bypass and minimally invasive techniques to treat valve disease. Chris is known as a cardiologist and a surgeon, but also has a strong bench-top research background, evaluating the mitral valve and the mechanisms of degenerative disease.
Join our hosts, Jose and Kieran, as they discuss Prof Orton's research experience and his experience over the last 3-years of trans-catheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair, patient considerations and outcomes.
