#STS2025 #JACC LBCT: In pts 60 years of age or younger, mechanical #AVR was associated with an independent risk-adjusted survival benefit compared to bioprosthetic AVR. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… @hunter_mehaffey @DrMoritzWvB @STS_CTsurgery @BadhwarVinay

During one of many late-breaking sessions at #STS2025, Michael Bowdish, MD, presented on the impact of valve choice (mechanical vs. bioprosthetic) on long-term survival for patients <60, using data from the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database. ow.ly/sfVC50UKxT1

Thank you to @WVUMedicine and @BadhwarVinay for performing charitable COMPLEX mitral valve operations on 3 children in JAMAICA these past 2 days !!!! @cardiackidsfl @ChainofHopeUK @GiftofLife @Rotary

On behalf of the West Virginia University Robotic Cardiac Program and the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute, I have the pleasure of inviting you to join our international robotic aortic valve replacement (RAVR) symposium, November 14-15, 2024. WVURAVR2024.org

On this day in 1944, Dr. Alfred Blalock, Dr. Helen Taussig, and surgical technician Vivien Thomas performed the first-ever surgery to treat the #CHD, Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The surgery became known as the BTT shunt, honoring the medical staff.

Individuals with CHD are more resilient than healthy counterparts. Lower resilience was assoc. with frequent hospitalizations, mental health diagnoses, lack of exercise, and no participation in CHD support groups or camps @JAHA_AHA @Schuch_doc @melissacousino @wernovsky30362

A recent study published in @annalsthorsurg reviewed outcomes for the STS “Looking to the Future” Scholarship Program, and sought to mentor early-career trainees, while also giving residents and medical students the impetus to pursue the CT specialty. bit.ly/494brOZ

Excellent work by the MGH heart transplant team outlining granular hemodynamic considerations in DCD heart transplantation. Very proud of @stanleywolfe our research fellow who was the engine for this @JACCJournals publication. @MGHSurgery @mghctsurgery @MGHHeartHealth @

In the 1st 47 MGH OCS-reanimated DCD OHTs vs. 166 MGH DBD OHTs our team found that DCD recipients had ↑RAP ↓PAPi, ↑RA/PCWP, but RV>LV dysfunction resolved by week 3 with no 6-mo mortality. doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc… #donatelife D. D'Alessandro @stanleywolfe @mghhearthealth

@SophWPerez This happens all too often and is a threat to patient safety.

On today’s episode of surprises you might find on afternoon rounds, I present to you, THIS:

@robertbmcdouggg @AATSHQ I do not believe this was recorded unfortunately.

@stanleywolfe @AATSHQ Is there a recording of this I can watch?
