Glad and honored to bring this president’s choice award back home. It’s a great collaborative project between Philadelphia and Bern focusing on the aortic root in acute type A aortic dissection. @NimeshDesaiMD @BavariaMd @MatthiasSiepe @John_J_Kelly_MD #EACTS202

Our paper and video on beating Heart FET is now online! Spare cardiac arrest by using selective myocardial perfusion! Total aortic arch replacement using frozen elephant trunk: the beating-heart technique annalscts.com/article/view/1…

Excited to share our new video illustrating a Zone 2 arch with sequential branched TEVAR for acute Type A dissection! @NimeshDesaiMD @pennsurgery journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15…

@georgetolisjr Position of the pulmonary valve is suggestive of the implantation through a tube of Dacron ? Pericardial tube? Can you tell us more?

A rare operation : quadruple valve replacement. Mechanical left sided and bioprosthetic right sided valves for carcinoid valve disease.

Just published in @JACCJournals : Severe trans- & para-valvular MR post-healed endocarditis managed with closure of mitral annulus cavity with a nitinol occluder then Tendyne mitral valve implantation It won best case at #PCRLV 2024. @FabienPraz @DomAngellotti @SelimMosbahi @ThomPilgrim @JACCJournals @PCRonline @GilbertTangMD @PhilGenereuxMD @JGrapsa @chris_malkin4 @BCIS_uk @crfheart

@AMaznyczka @JACCJournals @FabienPraz @DomAngellotti Glad to see this in press!

ELASTA-Clip followed by transapical TMVR is a less invasive Tx for patients with failed M-TEER, with encouraging early results in carefully selected Pts. Preventing PVL and stroke is crucial. Larger, long-term studies are needed @JACCJournals jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Excited to share our study in EJCTS🫀! 💡 Conclusion: Hemiarch doesn’t increase perioperative risk but may not prevent medium-term reinterventions. Thanks to @NimeshDesaiMD, @MatthiasSiepe, Martin Czerny, Florian Schönhoff and all involved! Full study: doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/…

@FarivarRobert Reports of the exact same issue with the resilia/ Inspiris have been published as well. Mostly when the stiches are placed too far beyond the silicon reinforcement.

@FarivarRobert Some authors however disagree pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26337338/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30731191/

This single-center study of 2,403 patients reported the incidence, predictors, and clinical outcomes of hemodynamic valve deterioration in patients undergoing #TAVR jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCINT #HVD @ThomPilgrim @BashirAlaour @DaijiroTomii

@LuisCastroMD @AspiringCTS @STS_CTsurgery I understand your concerns. A CT would better show the relationship between lungs mammary and chest. I would not say that the graft has been inproperly harvest since the bypass is open, widely Patent. In case with COPD/big lungs it is sometimes Hard to predict the lima course

Another improperly harvested LIMA done years ago in a man who needs redo CABG. STS risk calc does not account for grafts stuck to chest wall. The 2 proximal clips on LIMA do not move. Graft is pushed medially. Beware. Now at high risk for injury. 🤬@AspiringCTS @STS_CTsurgery

#EditorsChoice In this article, @SelimMosbahi, @NimeshDesaiMD, and coauthors conclude antegrade thoracic endovascular aortic repair may be beneficial for remodeling and reduces reintervention for malperfusion. Read more👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.atho…

V-V ECMO after Type A? TEVAR in #marfan? Penn residents @AllieSperryMD and @CatalanoMA are presenting some controversial topics at @STS_CTsurgery @EACTS @LATAM_LACES meeting in Buenos Aires! Great job team! @pennsurgery #PENNAORTA #AortaEd @KLawrenceMD @ChaseBrown_MD @BavariaMd

Strong Penn presence at #EACTS2024 in Lisbon today. We are slowly unraveling the mysteries of aortic dissection from why it happens to the most advanced ways to treat it. We are so proud of our students and trainees! @pennsurgery @PennMedicine #AortaEd @EACTS @KLawrenceMD @ChaseBrown_MD

@OGdukeneurosurg Nice drawing although not completely accurate…missing the non-A non-B here

Aortic dissection

I'm excited to share our comprehensive audio-visual guide on preparing donor hearts for ex situ cardiac perfusion with the TransMedics Organ Care System, showcasing an innovative approach that expands possibilities in heart transplantation. lnkd.in/dTPwG4k5 @MatthiasSiepe

Important question for clinicians managing an aortic catastrophe...when is emergent laparotomy futile? Great project from the Penn Aorta team! @NimeshDesaiMD @John_J_Kelly_MD @SelimMosbahi @AugoustidesJohn @pennsurgery @PennCardiology @annalsthorsurg annalsthoracicsurgery.org/article/S0003-…

Another successful program in the books! Course directors @BavariaMd @NimeshDesaiMD, @PrashanthVall12 @John_J_Kelly_MD and Munir Boodhwani after an amazing two days! #AVRS2024

@RakanINazer @farkomd Cannulation through an 8mm Graft is almost always possible through a subclavicular access. Versatile and Safe, beats direct canulation imo.

Rt. Axillary artery cannulation. #AortaEd @farkomd

For Type A dissections with gut ischemia, the traditional approach may still be the best approach…great work here from the whole Penn team! @NimeshDesaiMD @BavariaMd @John_J_Kelly_MD @SelimMosbahi @AATSJournals @pennsurgery @PennCardiology jtcvs.org/article/S0022-…
