MGH Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program

Great visit with colleagues and friends at @uvmvermont Medical Center. The collaboration between @MGHHeartHealth, @mghachd, and our UVM partners has been incredible and I’m honored to play a small role in the care of their patients.

Cool story about a very special patient of mine who had two failed prosthetic heart valves at a very young age. youtube.com/watch?v=i03Mxl…

We are proud to announce we are now an ACHD Accredited Comprehensive Care Center through ACHA! 🎉🎉🎉

We are so proud of our team members, @DrAdaStefanescu and @SherrinLGallagh, for their contributions at ACC 2026 sharing their knowledge and skills through presentations and simulation labs about the ACHD population. @ACCinTouch

In honor of American Heart Month, the MGH ACHD team hosted a table in the White Lobby to raise awareness of CHD. It was inspiring to connect with patients/ families and colleagues to hear their stories and build relationships. Knowledge is power: for patients and providers. 🫀

Our newest @JAHA_AHA review on the #RossProcedure is out today... a surgeon/cardiologist collaboration offering a modern look at patient selection, surgical technique, and long-term outcomes to guide practice. @IHamamsy @OuzounianMD @LucyLNam @ddefariayeh @MGHHeartHealth @mghachd @AortaEd ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…

Today members of the @mghachd Program participated in the 18th Annual Cardiac Nursing Scholar program at MGH, featuring @DrAdaStefanescu as the keynote speaker. It was a robust discussion of patient and staff experiences caring for ACHD patients and and overview of ACHD diagnoses

It was a great morning to participate in the Boston ACHA Walk for 1 in 100. The @mghachd team had a great time getting out of the office to support this important cause assisting ACHD patients, families and health care providers. Thanks to everyone who made it a success!

Honored that our study on the prevalence and impact of PPM after SAVR is featured on the @annalsthorsurg cover. Grateful to @JoChikweMD for the opportunity and to the legendary Tirone David for his invited review. @MGHHeartHealth @mghachd @mghctsurgery @AortaEd @LucyLNam annalsthoracicsurgery.org/article/S0003-…

Cool story about one of my amazing Ross warriors... massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr… @AortaEd @MGHHeartHealth @mghachd #Ross #SurviveAS

Super pumped about my new custom #Ross scrub cap by the incredibly talented @LucyLNam. Perfect look for a two Ross Friday.

Class. Precision. Innovation. Execution. Still reflecting after one of the finest meetings I’ve had the privilege to attend. A true tour de force honoring the one and only Tirone David. Bravo @OuzounianMD @IHamamsy @JoChikweMD David Adams, and Michael Borger. #Ross #Survive @mghachd @MGHHeartHealth

A great talk today in Toronto given by our ACHD Interventional Cardiologist @DrAdaStefanescu on the use of imaging to identify complications during transcatheter pulmonary valve procedures. @ISACHD @mghachd

It is an indescribable honor to be introduced by one of the bravest patients I have ever met. This young lady was 13 when I met her with the rarest aortic disease ever described. She required two massive operations over a 6 month period to correct her aortopathy. I was asked to discuss her case and the management of two other patients with MSMDS and ACTA2 disease. The icing on the cake was that one of two men who taught me how to do complex aortic surgery was the other surgical speaker and none other than the legendary Duke Cameron. @Acta2Alliance @AortaEd @mghachd
