@StephaneLeung Nice work!

Michigan’s first commercial Tendyne (transapical TMVR) implant! Performed this week by our structural heart team for high risk MS/MR with MAC. No residual leak. #abbott #tendyne #heartsurgery #highrisk #corewellhealthwest

@trentmagrudermd Great work Trent. Thanks for sharing!

Maybe consider SEQUENTIAL HEART/KIDNEYS? The risk of mortality and graft failure from using extended donors in simultaneous heart-kidney transplant is greater than in isolated heart transplants. @MaxamillionShin @Iyengaramit @MarkHelmersMD 🔗: jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

First #TricValve (transcatheter bicaval valves system) implantation in the 🇺🇸 performed by Dr. @tavrkapadia Sir and my brother, Dr. Rishi Puri, both at @ClevelandClinic—congratulations! Recalcitrant right-sided heart failure due to severe tricuspid regurgitation is an unmet need.

Purchased 150 castros and forceps for my students from a factory in Pakistan on Alibaba.com. Paid in advance. First time buying on this site and was a bit worried. They arrived safely and quality is very good. Globalization is great. Let the surgical simulation begin!

“A technique for producing an atrial septal defect without thoracotomy or anesthesia is presented. It can be performed rapidly in any cardiac catheterization laboratory.” (William J. Rashkind, 1966) #CardioTwitter #CardiopatiasCongenitas #echofirst #cathlab #rashkind

GIANT ASCENDING AORTIC ANEURYSM- Although i have done quite a few Bentall surgeries before, this one deserves special mention. This was the biggest ascending aortic aneurysm I’ve encountered (12.75 cm) The patient was unable to lie down since weeks because of compression

A recorded press briefing from #STS2022 just dropped. @iyengaramit from @pennsurgery discusses how neighborhood socioeconomic status may impact patient outcomes after heart surgery. @sloaneguy also shares his thoughts on the “very revealing” data. bit.ly/3rbXaeY
