Our newest @JAHA_AHA review on the #RossProcedure is out today... a surgeon/cardiologist collaboration offering a modern look at patient selection, surgical technique, and long-term outcomes to guide practice. @IHamamsy @OuzounianMD @LucyLNam @ddefariayeh @MGHHeartHealth @mghachd @AortaEd ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…

Taking my second 19mm mechanical valve of the week out today for severe patient prosthesis mismatch and panus. Patients always report being told that mechanical valves last forever...

Finally!! One of the most important #RossProcedure papers of the modern era published in JACC by @AmineMazineMD and @OuzounianMD. Their findings solidify the importance of high volume surgeons/centers and the safety and efficacy of this procedure. #surviveAS @mghachd @AortaEd @MGBHeart jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

@_fdem_ @eisselbacher Awesome work, keep crushing!!

@Alex_Kantor31 @ThoracicStudent Thanks so much for your kind words Alex!!

This is a terrific review of the Ross Procedure. Any medical student/aspiring CT surgeon attending the TSMA webinar "Aortic Valve Options: Why Ross?" on Jan 8th with Dr. Calhoon should read this paper before the meeting. @ThoracicStudent

@StephaneLeung Got it...for me the quality metric here is not just "No AR". If: (1) effective height is >7-8mm, (2) zero residual prolapse, (3) 1+ or less central AR and (4) single digit mean gradient... can be safely accomplished, i would 100% choose VSRR. EOA probably 3x a tissue valve

@JordanBloomMD I don’t think there’s any problem, other than that some would just suggest that VSSR with BAV will fail with AR and then there’s no TAVR option (right now). So better off with bentall for future ViV.

62yo with bicuspid aortic valve (Seivers 0) and 53mm aortic root and ascending. 1 year post VSRR with no AR. Would anyone favour just a bentall?? #aorticaneurysm #bicuspidvalve #valve repair

Fellow VSRR surgeons...how would you deal with this 6cm root aneurysm in the setting of an asymmetric trileaflet valve with moderate regurgitation? Any tips for managing the asymmetry? @AortaEd @GebrineK @schaefers_hans

Wrapped up another amazing Aortic Root Camp thanks to @ArtivionInc. Hands down the best complex aortic surgical training course around. Great to work with so many talented trainees alongside leaders in our field. @IHamamsy @EWilliamsMD @chrisryanburke @AortaEd @MGHHeartHealth

@kaulcsmc just published a viewpoint on TAVI for low risk AS in @JACCJournals that EVERYONE must read. My favorite excerpt, "Can we put the genie back in the bottle?"... jacc.org/doi/abs/10.101…

Check out our recent @ctsnetorg @ArtivionInc webinar talking about "Data-Driven Valve Selection for Younger AVR Patients" @ChrisMalaisrie @MarcGerdisch @AortaEd @MGHHeartHealth @mghachd ctsnet.org/article/data-d…

Great new paper in @annalsthorsurg by François et al. redemonstrating a critical principle in VSRR. You must get it right from the beginning. Unacceptable to leave the OR with more than mild AR and any degree of prolapse. Do it right or you will be sorry.

@Kareem_Bedeir Awesome stuff Kareem.

A number of years ago when I was in training, I was told by a number of surgeons that if I decided to go to a community practice, I will only be seeing straight forward CABGs and an occasional valve replacement. Below is our typical “community practice” week in South Alabama.

Mark your calendars for an important webinar: Data-Driven Valve Selection for Younger AVR Patients, featuring @JordanBloomMD, @ChrisMalaisrie and @MarcGerdisch. September 25 at 8 am ET. Click here to register: bit.ly/4n4h4TP

Outstanding 2-days hosted by Munir Boodhwani @HeartInstitute. 5 complex live cases - (Ross @IHamamsy and AoV repair @GebrineK + Munir) and great discussions Join us next year in Philly! @JordanBloomMD @NimeshDesaiMD @markpeterson @MichaelMwachu @BavariaMd @EricRoselliMD

Wrapped up another amazing meeting filled with like-minded colleagues doing their best to avoid palliative surgery with prosthetic aortic valves. #AVRS2025 @OuzounianMD @GebrineK @BavariaMd @IHamamsy @MGHHeartHealth @mghachd @AortaEd
