Exciting update in #EHJ! 📖 1-yr FU from NIHP2019 confirms the clinical benefit of hypothermic perfusion for donor hearts. 📈See you in Toronto for #ISHLT2026 for more on HOPE. Thank you to all co-investigators! doi.org/10.1093/eurhea… @UZLeuven @KU_Leuven @Cardio_KULeuven

🎶 Muziek die het hart raakt — letterlijk en figuurlijk. Pianist en student Wouter Gillijns bracht “Heartbeat” op het podium van de Academie in Lennik, ten voordele van #KULeuven Fonds voor Cardiale Heelkunde. ❤️ Passie, talent en engagement!

@solarteam_be @solarteamtwente Good luck Innoptus Solar Team 🤜

We end the day in third place, behind @solarteamtwente . During a short pit stop to fix a puncture, they were able to overtake us. With just under 900 km to go, the top three are within less than 8 minutes of each other. The coming days will decide who takes the trophy home 🏆

@KDujardin @VerwerftJan @UZLeuven @Cardio_KULeuven @EACTS_Journals Good point, Karel. There are few RCT’s in cardiac surgery to proof specific subtypes of aortic root surgery is better. We tried, but failed: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/9/e… Dilated roots and thus AR face specific attention and expertise: PMID 35081548

Filip, congratulations on a superb paper & the long-term follow-up! Could you please share your insights on the general Class I indications for a Ross procedure, including considerations for aortic stenosis versus aortic regurgitation, age range, anatomical factors, and contraindications?
