Lead surgeon, Dr. Feras Khaliel has generously shared his video of the first-ever robotic heart transplant. This video is in full resolution and shows his right chest approach with a 5 cm mini thoracotomy and anastomoses. This video also demonstrates how this is a highly feasible technique that is likely to be performed more times in the future. 

To learn more about this procedure, watch the interview with Dr. Feras Khaliel on "The Beat With Joel Dunning Ep. 73: World's First Fully Robotic Heart Transplant".
