Thank you to @BrHeartValveSoc for featuring my article on how to “enhance the performance” of heart teams in the NHS!! There may be many outcomes to be improved with measuring heart team activity across the NHS. bhvs.org/lessons/bhvs-newsle…

Perceval Plus LANCELOT is the ideal docking station for valve-in-valve as it delivers:
✔ Clear visualization for precise positioning
✔ Optimized hemodynamics thanks to uniform expansion
✔ Preserved coronary access for patient safety

It was a real honour to be invited to visit the modern head office of the Lancet in London. Surprised to find out that it was founded over 200 years ago by Thomas Wakeley, a surgeon!

A minimally invasive alternative to open heart surgery is gaining popularity—but some find their new valves don’t work as well or last as long as they hoped. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4cvGJSH

No money for vital staff or infrastructureaccording to our politicians, but plenty of money to help private health care companies exploit the NHS

The takeaway:
Sometimes the best intervention... is 𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Sometimes "protecting" the heart with technology causes more harm than letting skilled operators do PCI with standard care.
Medicine is humbling.
Science is beautiful.
Patients deserve better.
