A heart recovery reunion brought together top cardiologists in Metro Detroit and the patients they’ve served.
The event was Thursday (Nov. 2) evening in Grosse Pointe Shores, where a handful of patients reunited with their patients who were once critically ill.
“All of the patients that you see here are patients who have survived major catastrophic events that likely they would not have survived without these technologies,” said Dr. Amir Kaki.
The Impella, a small heart pump, was one of the technologies highlighted at the event.
Many of the patients benefited from minimally invasive life-saving technologies and procedures as they were too ill to undergo open heart surgery.
The reunion allowed patients and their families to celebrate the doctors and healthcare teams.
