Wrapping up an incredible experience at @TheASNR in Austin with an oral presentation on #Alzheimer’s disease research. Huge gratitude to #ASNR26 and to my incredible mentor, @GloriaChiangMD, for the constant support and inspiration throughout this journey🙏 @WCMRadiology

"The🫀is a radical teacher of equity." In this moving #TEDx talk, Dr. @SubodhVermaMD shares what 5,000 human hearts taught him about resilience, serendipity, and our humanity. Watch the full talk here: youtube.com/watch?v=nqY9R6…

Many thanks to @AATSHQ Daily News for highlighting our team’s study on trends in tricuspid valve surgery. @TsuyoshiKaneko1 @WashU_CT tinyurl.com/bdf24ubc

Lots of activity #AATS2026 from Wash U. @PujaKachroo presenting our dissection series and importance of BP control and reop, @MehranRahimi95 presenting CMS tricuspid series and Dr. Ralph Damiano presenting multicenter series of new cryo and RF ablation device! @WashU_CT

Great honor to present our study on trends in tricuspid valve surgery among Medicare beneficiaries @AATSHQ. We showed improved early outcomes in recent years & increased utilization of surgical replacement in this population. Grateful to my mentors @WashU_CT Dr. @TsuyoshiKaneko1

Dr. @MarcPPelletier outlining the critical gaps in knowledge in durability of SAVR & TAVR and pointing out higher subclinical leaflet thrombosis and PVL with TAVR valves @AATSHQ

@SinaDaneshMD presenting @MayoClinicCVS results on AI-ECG age’s role in predicting mortality following failed aortic bioprostheses @AATSHQ

🌟New publication in the The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Our team explores the feasibility of using nanosecond pulsed-field ablation to create Cox-maze lesion sets on the beating heart—an approach that may streamline surgical treatment for atrial fibrillation.

@SinaDaneshMD @AATSHQ @MayoClinicCVS @PaulTangMD @Arghami @HSchaffMD @JuanCrestanello @MayraGuerreroMD @MayoClinicCV @TedySawma98 @MVillavicencioT @AATSJournals Excellent job. See you @AATSHQ !

Looking forward to presenting two abstracts at the AATS Annual Meeting 🫀, highlighting Artificial Intelligence-ECG–derived age and its association with mortality in aortic valve interventions. Excited for the discussions ahead. @AATSHQ @MayoClinicCVS

@SinaDaneshMD @WashU_CT @AATSHQ Thanks @SinaDaneshMD!

@WashU_CT @MehranRahimi95 @AATSHQ Great job @MehranRahimi95

Looking forward to seeing our faculty and trainees this weekend at #AATS. Proud to see them representing the program and advancing the field through their research and expertise. 👏 @AATSHQ

What is the volume–outcome relationship of mortality following surgical explant of transcatheter #aortic valve replacements? Find out from researchers at @WashU_CT by reading this open access #JTCVS article: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcv… @MehranRahimi95 @TsuyoshiKaneko1

@ktabibian @CoreLabUCLA @karamlou Congrats, Kevin!

Truly honored and grateful! Thank you to Dr. Tara Karamlou (@karamlou) and the TSMA for their incredible support of trainees, and to Dr. Peyman Benharash (@CoreLabUCLA) for his invaluable mentorship. I'm looking forward to a great meeting at WTSA.

@AsemanBagheri Congrats!

Absolutely humbled, honored and grateful to have been inducted in Sigma Sigma Phi honorary osteopathic medical society - Delta Chapter recognizing academic excellence and commitment to community service.

@ahmedawadmd Congrats, Ahmed!

YOUR BOY IS GOING TO BE A YALE TRAINED CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON!!!!

What is the feasibility of creating the Cox-maze lesion set on the beating heart? Read this Editor's Choice article on nanosecond pulsed field ablation for free in #JTCVS until 3/30: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcv… @MehranRahimi95 @matt_schill @WashU_CT

We also found a positive volume-outcome relationship for AAE during AVR: Hospitals performing just 12 or more during the study (avg >1 per yr) had lower mortality at 30 d, 1 yr, & 5 yrs compared to hospitals doing <1 per year #STS2026 @TsuyoshiKaneko1 @WashU_CT @STS_CTsurgery

It was a great honor to present our findings on long-term outcomes after aortic annular enlargement. Grateful for my mentors! @AlexBresciaMD @PujaKachroo @TsuyoshiKaneko1

#STS2026 highlights: Dr. Alexander Brescia shared multiple presentations on aortic annular enlargement—examining long-term AVR outcomes and volume-outcome relationships—and led a hands-on annular enlargement course 👏 @TsuyoshiKaneko1 #WashUSurgery #ThoracicSurgery #AVR

Had an amazing time at #STS2026 with colleagues and mentors. Great conversations, strong ideas, and real collaboration that pushes the field forward. @STS_CTsurgery
