Brian DeMario was told to limit activities for the first week, but since then, has walked three times a day. At 54, Brian DeMario was in disbelief.Just a month earlier, the Munster resident was hiking the Smoky Mountains, nearly 6,000 feet above sea level.Now he was hearing the words, double bypass heart surgery."I "I'm 54 years old, and I have to get a bypass."As He also had many of the same thoughts as anyone faced with the prospect of open heart surgery.Then he discovered he was eligible for robotic cardiac surgery, a much less invasive procedure that is performed through small incisions in the chest and the use of tiny instruments.Dr.
