I’m Dr. Michael Richman, a double board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon. In today’s video, which will be the first part of a two-part video, I will explain the difference between a cardiologist and cardiothoracic surgeon. Then I break down the key facts about coronary artery bypass surgery, what makes it different from stenting, and why knowing the difference matters.
For further guidance, advocacy or a cardiovascular/lipid consultation, please go to PaladinMDs because “it’s like having a doctor in the family.”
