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 »!

My complete confidence in Professor Olaf Wendler following an operation eight years ago, has been affirmed in my recent procedure, from which I’m making an excellent recovery. Throughout, Professor Wendler has shown me consistent consideration, understanding and taken a personal interest in my condition. I am very grateful to him.

My experience with Mr Christopher Young and his Senior Medical Secretary, Pamela Stewart was outstanding. Mr Young is a highly experienced and accomplished surgeon, in whom I had complete confidence. At my first consultation, he clearly explained the options available to me and gave me his considered advice, which I was content to take. The procedure went very well, and I am recovering very satisfactorily. Most importantly my heart is working more efficiently I have been energised by the whole experience.
