Measuring mitral valve ring size

@georgetolisjr This is so true! I have been saying that for ages!

[Dimitrios Angouras @AngourasD]

Clearly, the cardiologists are experiencing an interpretation bias (or we are!) This dichotomy is not acceptable anymore from a purely scientific perspective. A public dialogue must begin immediately to address this issue for the sake of our patients' lives.

@rafasadaba @EACTS @BartsAorta Fantastic meeting indeed! Congrats to EACTS and everyone involved. Thanks, STS!

@georgetolisjr @SteinwayAndSons @HarvardClub Multitalented! Super!

Of all patients who underwent revascularization in ISCHEMIA trial, 5.4% underwent CABG for Duke 6 risk score (severe 3 VD). This was the argument to downgrade CABG. Rest my case.

"The ESC/EACTS document assumes an equipoise between long-term survival of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and SAVR, which is unsupported by findings of most randomized controlled trials (RCTs), meta-analysis, and national databases"

This paper is our new contribution to investigating biomechanical characteristics of ascending aortic aneurysms related to acute aortic dissection initiation and propagation. Kudos to my resident and postgraduate student E. Kefalidi for a fantastic job! https://t.co/zwKB91ELZU

@rafasadaba Plan A, mobilize and do not divide; Plan B, mobilize some more and do not divide; Plan C, repair; Plan D, leave it divided.

One year and long term mortality is 13% and 18% higher in patients who need PPI after TAVI. https://t.co/AJE6HTAJBi

TAVI offers a survival advantage only in the first 6 months, it then becomes a predictor for higher mortality compared to SAVR (increases 18% the risk of death). @kaulcsmc

@VictorDayan1 Congratulations on this immediate and well-documented response. I do hope that EACTS, STS, and AATS will react accordingly.

[Dimitrios Angouras @AngourasD]

@brophyj @VictorDayan1 @kaulcsmc @drjohnm @DavidLBrownMD Whereas “the guidelines were reviewed by the AATS and the STS...neither formally endorsed the document.” I think that AATS, STS, and other CT surgical associations worldwide need to react to this “Guile, Duplicity, and Perfidious Publication.”

[Domenico Pagano @dompagano]

The mean age for Aortic Valve Replacement is 75 yrs, ( mean survival 10.6 yrs for 70-79 yrs group). So a 75 yrs threshold gives the TAVI "business" access to half of the current AVR population but with unknown long term survival.

...our extensive intact-wall and layer-specific mechanical analysis endorses current therapeutic guidelines suggesting a rather aggressive ATAA replacement strategy for patients with an indication for AV surgery.
