Aspiring CT Surgeons

It was our son, Julian’s 1st #AATS2023 and as a dual professional family, we learned what it takes to bring a 4 month old to @AATSHQ and to balance our career goals in #CTsurgery. @JMSoegaard Great seeing friends! @TSRA_official @ThoracicStudent On-site childcare next year?!

Learning from the master @tomcnguyen at the @TSRA /TSMA Skills Workshop #AATS2023

And it’s over #LatAmCardiac2022 in Cartagena. I met old friends and made new ones. Thanks to @STS_CTsurgery and @EACTS for putting together a great meeting @BavariaMd @OuzounianMD @JoeSabik @pomyers @BadhwarVinay @rafasadaba Juan Pablo Umaña. Cardiac surgery giants

An excellent overview of cardiac transplantation by one of my teachers, Dr. Pretorious. The HOPE Trial has also worked to address organ availability and disparities within organ transplantation 💝 @EugeneGolts @Drtravispollema @UCSDCardiology @UCSD_DCP acc.org/Latest-in-Card…

29th November 2022. Date of birth of LACES. Born to improve access to education and equity in care in LATAM. Today surgeons from LATAM and cardiological societies joined to support the bylaws signing. Thanks @SociedadCelac , @SUC_cardiologia @STS_CTsurgery @EACTS @SIAC_cardio

We work hard, we play hard, but no one fought harder than our former @iu_ctsurgery resident Dr. Caleb R. Matthews (08/22/1991-11/11/2022)💔. Your strength remains with us & we miss you dearly 💪🏼🔨✨ tinyurl.com/3rh6f84n

In my opinion, the biggest news from #AHA22 for the heart failure community was the results of #STRONGHF. @AlexMebazza, the trial's principal investigator, presented the results. The following thread summarizes his presentation. @AHAScience

26% mortality in 17 months. Sobering.

100% agree. What this doesn't show is how tricky it is to isolate viable human cardiomyocytes. @MarguliesLab and @tweetineaton are some of the best in the business!

It never gets old 🫀

Heart failure session at Penn-Stanford CVI Symposium w Julio Chirinos on Biomarker in HFpEF, Pavan Atluri on nanoparticle therapy in ischemic HF, & Ken Margulies on Heart Transplant Rejection Diagnosis. @stanford @StanfordMed @Penn @PennMedicine @StanfordCVI @Joseph_C_Wu

Great first day of the Penn-Stanford CVI Symposium! @PennCVI @AlexiaVite93 @kbedi88
