Dr Erkmen presented important data clarifying gender disparities in compensation in CT surgery at the #STS2024 session on the @STS_CTsurgery survey.
Women are consistently compensated less than their men counterparts, cents on the man’s dollar.

Congratulations @drsharmatoishi on an insightful paper!👇 To be determined the outcomes in young TAVR patients, especially with BAV

Today's JACC: Temporal trends in TAVR vs SAVR in 142,953 pts between 2015 and 2021 from >250 US hospitals. Increasing TAVR over time in all age groups. TAVR dominant in ≥65yo pts, ~50% in <65yo pts. We need more bicuspid and ≥10-year data. @HarryDauerman

Join Interventional Cardiology teams from @DukeHeartCenter @NYPCUCVI @UVMMedCenter at @theheartorg's Heart of Cardiology #cathlab challenge on December 3rd. Registration link: https://t.co/xvrjGl0H94.

We will present two challenging #TAVR cases from @uvmcards. @HarryDauerman

@AndreasRck2 @GilbertTangMD @vonBardelebenRS @modine_thomas @didier_tchetche Would not do this perc as potential access complications would be dire. Agree with all these great points as we too have streamlined the procedure. Where is the procedure performed by everyone? We have started doing it recently in the cath lab. @DrTGupta

@georgetolisjr @AATSHQ Excellent advice! As I was finishing my training, one of my mentors told me, to focus on safely performing basic operations of CABG, AVR, & MVR, and get a dissection out of the operating room. Foundation for subsequent success. @LMBougioukas

Our #heart has a left and a right atrium, and a left and a right ventricle = 4 chambers. Why not 5, 6 or 7 chambers? Hypothetical Q perhaps, but the embryo actually forms heart muscle beyond the 4 chambers, namely in the systemic and pulmonary veins and the outflow tract. A 🧵
