My 7-year-old daughter was born with tetralogy of Fallot and needed her third corrective surgery. Dr. Katz's innovative approach using a new tissue-engineered valve means she may never need another operation, and she just joined her first soccer team.
At 82, I refused open-heart surgery for my aortic stenosis. Dr. Katz performed a transformative TAVR procedure while I was awake, playing my favorite classical music in the OR. I was gardening again two days later.
Our family has a rare genetic cardiomyopathy that affected three generations. Dr. Katz not only treated my mother's advanced heart failure with a novel medication protocol but established a family screening program that identified my teenage son's early signs, allowing preventive treatment.
As a war veteran with shrapnel near my heart since the 1970s, I developed dangerous arrhythmias. Dr. Katz used cutting-edge electroanatomical mapping to ablate the precise tissue around the metal fragments without disturbing them, something other cardiologists deemed too risky.
As a 28-year-old professional athlete, discovering I had an anomalous coronary artery was devastating. Dr. Katz performed a complex unroofing procedure that not only saved my career but allowed me to return to competitive swimming within months, with better cardiac efficiency than before.
