​I'll be presenting our work on Mitral Valve repair vs. replacement in middle-income countries.

[Andrés F Jiménez @AFJimenezO]

Repair > Replacement for Mitral Valve disease in middle-income settings. 🩺

Our national cohort analysis shows superior mid-term survival and significant cost savings, yet repair remains underutilized. Time to bridge the gap!

See you at #AATS2026 for the full breakdown.

@OuzounianMD @DVervoort94 A brilliant mind with an even kinder heart. Generous, and always ready to lend a hand. You will be missed.
