In April 2022 Roberto Casula repaired my mitral valve at the Wellington Hospital. Before I was anaesthetised I asked him to be sure to do « some Ferrari engineering in there if you are going into my heart! ». There is hardly a day that goes by when I do not think of him and his 100% successful operation. I will be ever grateful. In November (seven months after the operation), to regain my pilot’s licence, I got through the exercise ECG test (9 minutes to Bruce P rotocol level 4), but the CAA kept me on the ground until April 2023 before finally giving my licence back. To get through the test (I confess I failed it in October) I forced myself to go jogging every day for a month, working up from 1km to 5kms. With determination I succeeded. Later that month I was hiking and climbing looking at glaciers in Patagonia, one day hiking 23 Km and climbing 4000 feet. At the end of the 2023 year, I enjoyed several days of stag hunting on a horse (exhausting stuff!), and a week of testing skiing. In April 2023, I finally got back into the sport I really enjoy - aerobatics. I started off with an instructor just to make sure my heart would tolerate it. Both Mr Casula and Professor Tom Wong, my cardiologist, had said that, after a successful operation, pulling G would be fine from a cardiological point of view. I then did quite a lot of solo aerobatics in the summer of 2023, and I can confirm that both were absolutely right, to my intense delight! No adverse reactions at all from my heart! So I have fully regained my former lifestyle, for which I am eternally grateful. I am having a lot of fun and am in excellent health – at 73 years old, I seem in much better shape than most of my friends and contemporaries. All thanks to a remarkably successful minimally invasive operation. It was truly a great « Ferrari job »!

Mr.Lall is wonderful he has saved my life and I’ll be eternally grateful, thank you so much!

Mr Austin put me at my ease from our first conversation, so that I was reassured about going through surgery with him and understood what needed doing and why. He is clearly a brilliant surgeon and was highly spoken of throughout the hospital and I feel very fortunate to have been one of his patients.

A Pioneer in his field of surgery

I found Mr Aktuerk excellent and could not have wished for a better cardiac surgeon. I cannot praise him enough for the extremely professional way he treated me. His explanation of the operation was very clear and understandable and laid to rest many of my worries.

Mr Roberts was at all times calm and reassuring. I felt completely safe and confident in his hands. His explanations were very clear.

Very reassuring and knowledgeable
