Team Hearts successfully completed their third mission in Guyana, performing 11 complex cardiac surgeries in just one week. The operations included several coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve replacements, as well as two minimally invasive aortic valve replacements, a procedure that had only been done twice in Guyana’s history. The team also performed an emergency repair for a rare and life threatening rupture of an aorta.
In 2023, the Caribbean Heart Institute joined forces with Operation International – Team Hearts to increase the potential for the group to access the resources, technical equipment, and critical skillsets needed to perform complex cardiac surgery in Guyana and around the world.
