Manatee Memorial Hospital became the first facility on the West Coast of Florida to offer patients suffering from aortic valve disease a new device for surgical aortic valve replacement. The surgical team led by Alessandro Golino, MD, cardiothoracic surgeon and program director of the Valve Institute, successfully implanted the Edwards Intuity Elite valve in an 80-year-old male patient last week at the Manatee Heart and Vascular Center at Manatee Memorial Hospital. Dr. Golino is the only cardiothoracic surgeon trained to use this procedure at Manatee Memorial Hospital.
