Patient Experiences

Brenda Robinette, MitraClip Patient

Brenda Robinette was part of history earlier this year at Reid Heart Center, but she hasn’t thought too much about it. She’s been too busy enjoying her new lease on life. Five months ago, the 73-year-old from Seven Lakes became the first patient in the Sandhills to undergo a transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) with MitraClip therapy.

Julia Brokmeyer, SCAD patient

Just a week shy of her 44th birthday, Julia Brokmeyer of Southern Pines was lying very seriously ill in a hospital bed. Days earlier, she had had a rare type of heart attack caused by a serious and unexpected condition.

Pat Spears, Aortic Valve Replacement Patient

Pat Spears, who had been relatively healthy his entire life, was told he had an aortic valve problem and that the valve would need to be replaced as quickly as possible. Because his valve had hardened and was 70 percent blocked, there was no time to waste.

Scott, Rockingham, NC, Heart Stent Patient

Reid Heart Center, providing area patients with one of the best heart programs in the world.

Don Deberry, TMR patient

Though only in his 50s, Don Deberry used to wake up with a racing, "quivering" heart, a symptom of his angina. A new procedure performed at Reid Heart Center changed his life. Deberry was the first Reid Heart Center patient to have a transmyocardial revascularization (TMR).
