Honored to present Dr. Ozaki’s outcomes of Ozaki procedure using bovine pericardium @AATSHQ For patients with diseased pericardium or those undergoing MIS, midterm durability is similar to the Ozaki procedure with autologous pericardium or bioprosthetic AVR! @ShinyaUnai @MdGosta

Outstanding talk by @mahmoudshneikat on coronary aneurysms - great discussion and insights on patient profiles, disease progression, and the timing and approach to intervention. Stay tuned for our manuscript on the largest coronary aneurysm cohort.

Presenting now and newly published in #JTCVS: Ostial Occlusion of All Epicardial Coronary Arteries: Living off Bypass Grafts. @FaisalBakaeen, @ahmedawadmd, Eugene H. Blackstone, et. Al. Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcvs.2026…

I am Presenting! Join me in Chicago, Sunday, May 3, 2026 (8:30-8:45 AM) in Room E351 during the "Coronary Outcomes Mythbusters" session as I present our work: "Coronary Artery Aneurysms: Evolving Trends in Surgical Management" @FaisalBakaeen @CleClinicHVTI @AATSHQ

Robotic cardiothoracic surgery is expanding fast — but what does mastery require beyond technical familiarity? Join @CleClinicHVTI July 17 for a CME course exploring operative strategy, decision-making & program-building. @LarsSvenssonMD @CCF_CTSRes consultqd.clevelandclinic.or…

CONGRATULATIONS @Hanna__Hong can’t wait to see all the amazing things you accomplish

Over the moon to be heading west to Seattle to join the @UWCTSurgRes family! Grateful to my mentors @karamlou and @Dr_HaniNajm for fostering my passion for cardiothoracic surgery and for the privilege of caring for these patients.

Can’t wait to join the team!! Beyond grateful to everyone who made this dream a reality. I’m going to be a cardiothoracic surgeon 🫀🤩

So incredibly excited to have matched into CCF neurosurgery and continue working with my amazing network of mentors. #match2026 #neurosurgery

YOUR BOY IS GOING TO BE A YALE TRAINED CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON!!!!

We hope you enjoy reading our manuscript - a collaborative effort from all specialties involved in the care of CABG patients.

The Svensson-Gillinov Scholarship in Cardiothoracic Surgery is now OPEN. Apply before March 1st, and don't forget you MUST also apply on VSLO. 2 outstanding students will be selected & notified by March 31st and announced at @AATSHQ 2026. Apply here: forms.gle/AVJvM7q4F58BHAGn6

Redo-commando after commando success breakdown🎯 : ▶️Preserve annular integrity during explant ▶️Complete trigonal debridement ▶️Careful valve sizing = no suture line tension ▶️ 💎 pericardial patch ▶️Pledget those corners = no post-op bleeding @CleClinicHVTI @NikaSamadzadeh

“Always be prepared for invasion.” In native aortic valve endocarditis, invasive disease was present in 40% yet preop TEE/CT missed it in >50%. Allografts showed superior freedom from reop at 5y vs with AVR patch. @HElgharablyMD @EricRoselliMD annalsthoracicsurgery.org/ar…

Amazing work done by superstars at HVTI @mahmoudshneikat @ahmedawadmd !!

Thanks so much to my first PI in medical school Dr. @FeixiongCheng for introducing me to the world of AI medicine! lerner.ccf.org/news/article/…

Check out my first machine learning project from MS1 of medical school! AI meets precision medicine meets cardio-oncology

This is a big deal. Frequentist statistics have done a lot of damage to medical science. People rely on P values without really understanding what they mean. Many faulty conclusions have been made because of them. Once you understand Bayes methods, you’ll never rely on frequent tests again. Bayes methods are completely aligned with clinical thinking and should be the standard methodology used for statistical analysis in clinical research.

All smiles from @williamcfrankel as he shares one of his complex mitral valve repairs at #Mitral2025 @AATSHQ
