Outstanding work! Presenting at ISMICS and engaging with experts in the field is a remarkable achievement. Congratulations, and best wishes for many more successful contributions ahead.

An unforgettable ISMICS 2026 in Miami. Grateful to be selected as an ISMICS-Medtronic Trainee Scholar, and honored to deliver an oral presentation in the Next generation thoracic surgery Session: "RALT: A Meta-Analysis of Early Outcomes in Minimally Invasive Transplant Surgery." The hands-on training -aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve repair, minimally invasive cannulation, and robotic console skills — taught by surgeons defining the field: Gry Dahle, Bob Kiaii, Danny Ramzy, Niv Ad, Nikolaos Bonaros, @tomcnguyen Tomcnguyen, @Arrow_12 and Sahin Senay! The future of cardiothoracic surgery is minimally invasive! #ismics #cardiothoracicsurgery #transplants #minimallyinvasive #img #cardaicsurgery

It was a great experience presenting our work at @ISMICS on aortic papillary fibroelastoma (PFE). I learned a lot and enjoyed the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts in the field. Special thanks to Dr. @Arghami for his mentorship and to @MayoClinicCVS for the opportunity.

When ISMICS Brought Extra Heat to the Sunshine State! -ISMICS2026 was great! -Miami was great! -It was once again a pleasure to contribute as faculty, give a talk, and contribute to the program! But even greater was: -To see my friends, my peers, and my betters! -To make new friends and have unexpected conversations! -To feel humbled when my work was cited by giants during their presentations! -To see a new passionate generation rising! The future of #cardiothoracicsurgery is bright, and congratulations to the ISMICS President (Gry Dahle), my peers on the ISMICS Board, the faculty, attendees, and industry partners!
