In April 2022 Roberto Casula repaired my mitral valve at the Wellington Hospital. Before I was anaesthetised I asked him to be sure to do « some Ferrari engineering in there if you are going into my heart! ». There is hardly a day that goes by when I do not think of him and his 100% successful operation. I will be ever grateful. In November (seven months after the operation), to regain my pilot’s licence, I got through the exercise ECG test (9 minutes to Bruce P rotocol level 4), but the CAA kept me on the ground until April 2023 before finally giving my licence back. To get through the test (I confess I failed it in October) I forced myself to go jogging every day for a month, working up from 1km to 5kms. With determination I succeeded. Later that month I was hiking and climbing looking at glaciers in Patagonia, one day hiking 23 Km and climbing 4000 feet. At the end of the 2023 year, I enjoyed several days of stag hunting on a horse (exhausting stuff!), and a week of testing skiing. In April 2023, I finally got back into the sport I really enjoy - aerobatics. I started off with an instructor just to make sure my heart would tolerate it. Both Mr Casula and Professor Tom Wong, my cardiologist, had said that, after a successful operation, pulling G would be fine from a cardiological point of view. I then did quite a lot of solo aerobatics in the summer of 2023, and I can confirm that both were absolutely right, to my intense delight! No adverse reactions at all from my heart! So I have fully regained my former lifestyle, for which I am eternally grateful. I am having a lot of fun and am in excellent health – at 73 years old, I seem in much better shape than most of my friends and contemporaries. All thanks to a remarkably successful minimally invasive operation. It was truly a great « Ferrari job »!

I found Mr Aktuerk excellent and could not have wished for a better cardiac surgeon. I cannot praise him enough for the extremely professional way he treated me. His explanation of the operation was very clear and understandable and laid to rest many of my worries.

A Pioneer in his field of surgery

Excellent. I was very nervous before the procedure and Dr Ciulli and his team gave me the confidence to approach the procedure with a positive mindset. Dr Ciulli gave me the time i needed to discuss the procedure and ask any questions I had.

Mr De Robertis is very sincere and calm, and willing to investigate the best suitable solution to advise on what should happen. He took time to understand my family health history to identify the problem sensibly and logically. He has great professionalism and a huge amount of experience and expertise.

Mr Nnamdi Nwaejike is a very caring person. He's polite, professional and explains things very well. He's happy to answer questions and doesn't rush you.

Mr Vohra was exceptionally warm, friendly, reassuring and open from the outset - a very easy man to relate to. He was ready to give me as much time as I needed to get a good understanding of the technicalities of his Minimally Invasive surgical approach to heart valve repair/replacement including the risks and benefits. He was supportive and understanding during some of the stresses I experienced post-surgery. I regard Mr Vohra as a rare find and am so grateful to him for giving my old heart a new chance at life.
