From a critical heart defect to Olympic Gold. Shaun’s keynote wasn’t just about athletic grit; it was a testament to the skill and dedication of the cardiothoracic surgery community. As a baby, his life was in Dr. Lamberti’s hands. Today, he stood before the world's top surgeons

So great seeing you! See you in Boston next year
The highlight of academic surgery-mixing science with time with old friends (and making new ones). Bonus if it’s poolside! Halsted Surgical Society w/ president John Mullen & new UTMB chair Matt Hutter (new cowboy boots not pictured) @MGHSurgery @BrighamSurgery

Might discourage people from putting in TAVR in low risk, young patients. Or not.
jtcvsopen.org/article/S2666-… I hope everybody has seen this important study. Survival after TAVR was half compared to SAVR. If TAVR outcomes were better, this would clearly be published in @NEJM. Congratulations to the authors and @JTCVS. #TAVR is for the elderly…don’t drink the cool-aid. @AortaEd @MGHHeartHealth

Always learn something when @MarcMoonMD speaks, even after almost 35 years!
Understanding the pivotal point on the burnout scale is critical. Perspectives from Dr. @MarcMoonMD during his talk on “Professionalism, Diversity, & the Training of a Surgeon" at the Shumway Visiting Professor lecture. @BCM_Surgery @Texas_Heart ✨ Watch: ow.ly/KA7P50WtKPL

Nice job Yota! Now on to Toronto.
Completed thoracic surgery fellowship at University of Pittsburgh. Grateful for the privilege of learning from the legend and master surgeons. One final chapter of training awaits- continuing the journey northward.

Drs.@MarcMoonMD & @vicenteorozco2 were invited by the AATS Foundation to Mexico City, where they had the privilege of doing 2 of 6 surgeries that took place at @NacionalChavez. The commitment across borders and enhancing the global bidirectional exchange of knowledge is laudable!
