New Surgery Used To Correct Rare Heart Defect
Duke University Medical Center reports WPW heart defect surgeries benefiting two former patients. Larry Beaird of Big Lake Texas and Joseph Barham of Oak Ridge Louisiana were among 14th and 15th to undergo the Duke procedure since 1967, with recent advances improving accessibility and success. The operation removes an extra muscle pathway causing rapid heartbeats and was performed by Dr. Andrew G. Wallace and Dr. Will C. Sealy, with the team mapping electrical impulses to target the abnormal connection.
