One hour with the great Dr. Tirone David sharing his surgical pearls in nearly half a century of practice wasn’t nearly enough yet lucky to hear it in person… luckier to have my badge signed by the legend himself!
The father of IABP, Greek cardiologist Spyridon Moulopoulos passed away at age 98 today. His work at the Cleveland Clinic in the early 60s saved millions of patients in the ensuing decades. He also established the first heart failure clinic in his native Greece in the 80s.

Modified Manougian does not require incision into left atrium and does not interfere with "true" mitral leaflet. Adds >17mm to perimeter and allows 2-3 ⬆️valve sizes. Adds <20 min to clamp time. See you at STS San Antonio!
We are so proud to announce that our team is the first in Arizona to use cutting-edge fluorescent imaging technology in cardiac surgery! This innovative tool, SpyPhi, allows us to utilize real-time 4K imaging at 60fps to evaluate and locate arteries that may be buried in fat, saving valuable time during surgery.
In a recent case, we used SpyPhi to assess a left internal mammary artery that was sewn to a previously totally occluded left anterior descending artery with retrograde flow. The fluorescent imaging provided by SpyPhi allowed us to determine the patency of the anastomosis with unparalleled precision, surpassing the capabilities of traditional doppler methods.
By developing AI algorithms for improved image analysis, we can enhance the predictive capabilities of SpyPhi and personalize treatment plans with automation. This will enable quicker real-time decision-making during surgery.
Furthermore, by integrating data from SpyPhi with angiograms, AI can help predict graft longevity, leading to better long-term outcomes for patients.
We are committed to staying at the forefront of medical technology and innovation. By embracing tools like SpyPhi and exploring the vast potential of AI in healthcare, we aim to revolutionize cardiac surgery and provide the best possible care for our patients.
What are your thoughts on the role of AI in advancing medical technologies like SpyPhi?

🧵#Stat101: Did u know u can estimate Hazard Ratio (HR) & p-value for most clinical trials in under 15 seconds👉Heard of "Simplest Statistical Test" before? ⬇️
✅Assume RCT with 1:1 randomization⤵️
✅Ignore sample size & F/U duration
✅(a) event rate in control (b) event rate in Tx group
🔴HR = a/b (estimated)
🔴Calculate Z= (a-b)/Square(a+b)
🔴Estimate P-value from Z table below👇
For real🧐? Let's apply these examples to some real & published clinical trials!

When you publish a paper and soon learn that your technique has already been implemented by a top cardiac surgeon at the legendary Cliveland Clinic. Really impressive! Thank you very much @FaisalBakaeen
@GianTorre610 @rodrigo_md_79 @VictorDayan1@pomyers@miro_peev I used this technique a couple of weeks ago. A vein patch worked well. However, better to prevent a seagull deformity in the first place. I congratulate the authors on a nice description of prevention and bail out strategies.
