Lessons learned from our battle against opioid addiction in patients presenting with endocarditis for cardiac surgery. High rates of lost to follow-up, drug relapse, and late mortality. Room for intervention in the first year #CCEndocarditis @CleClinicHVTI jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

I highly recommend any med students/aspiring CT surgeons watch this case video from @CCF_CTSRes, I scrubbed a few cases with Dr. @HElgharablyMD during my sub-I, and I could barely comprehend the redo-redo-redo cardiac anatomy 🤯 mmcts.org/case-report/18…

For subset of pts w/ Ascending aortic aneurysm (not root) that requires operation, & #BicuspidAorticValve that functions well, just fixing the aneurysm and leaving the #BAV is ok. Freedom from valve op is 95% @ 5y 83% @ 10y 63% @ 15y & reops safe #AortaEd jtcvs.org/article/S0022-…
