This is how surgery is done
Dr Bhanu Dev said that a transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) procedure was performed using a valve clamp inside the dog, which is called hybrid surgery. It is a combination of a micro surgery and an interventional procedure. The best thing about this procedure is that it is minimally invasive, as it is a procedure on a beating heart. It is not like open heart surgery, which requires a heart-lung bypass machine.
