All of the robotic docs I've spoken with will not operate without a complete provocative test to map the significance of the bridged arteries. Not all bridged arteries have enough restricted blood flow to be symptomatic. Your best bet is to get a provocative test completed so you can share with various doctors to get an assessment on whether or not they would take the case. I would also recommend you reach out to Dr. Theodoros Kofidis as he will give you a free meeting and help you better understand your options. Depending on where you live, there are hospital systems that can do the test. Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Georgia Heart Institute, Stanford in California. There are certainly more that I've not yet come across but that is going to be your best starting point.
Ryan, these are very technical questions that need to be addressed by you cardiologist or surgeon. We have some very good ones I have interviewed and all have a process to get in touch with them. Dr. Theodoris Kofidis will give you a consultation free of charge. He may be a good first step if you've already got some testing to go over with him. I've noticed you haven't responded to any of my input but there's not much more I can suggest at this point.
What if you have bridges on rear of heart and front? How do you approach that roboticly?
