[HSF] RCA osteal lesion-osteal reconstruction

Hal, 

Agreed, whether you can do a good job with valve repair has lot to do with your understanding of the valve. 

Chest approach should not compromise the technique. If it is, than conversion should be done.

"Animal",
  Actually, I'm more than OK with your stance.  An old  cowboy on TV once 
said, "a man's got to understand his limitations."  In  our zeal to advance 
surgical frontiers, we must not force those of us not  comfortable or ready for the 
challenge.  For instance, there may be  misguided surgeons wishing to create 
a robotic mitral practice, who, in reality,  have no significant mitral repair 
experience done via sternotomy.   Certainly, it would be a mistake for such 
surgeons to think they will become  safe robotic surgeons when they aren't even 
comfortable doing complex open  repairs.
 
Hal
