Another very important Ross study! Notably these data come from 10 centers and a larger # of surgeons. Dating back to ‘88, overall op mortality is 1% and late results are excellent!
This is the accompanying editorial I wrote with C. Warnes and R. Nishimura from the Mayo Clinic
Another eye opener on the excellent short- term and long- term outcomes of the Ross procedure in young and middle age population (Optimal long-term survival and hemodynamics. Reintervention on either the homograft/ autograft 15 years later was uncommon) https://t.co/MSAQnwe7mT
Our Editorial in this week's @JACCJournals. The #Rossprocedure shows excellent results as a redo surgery in this study by @edwardburatto et al.
"Reconstructive valve surgery with the patient's own living tissue continues to be an aspirational goal for all young patients".
Since #Covid19 hit NY, there’s been a huge ⬇️ in aortic dissections in all NYC hosp, while at-home deaths have ⬆️ ~10-fold: the unintended toll of the pandemic?
Bottom line: there’s risk in avoiding risk by avoiding the ER if you have chest pain! @MountSinaiNYC@MountSinaiHeart
Two-valve disease?
One would argue that survival equivalent to the gen. population and this rate of reop at 20 years (!) make pretty compelling arguments for the #RossProcedure. Congrats to Peter Skillington’s team from Sydney! @tssmn@EricRoselliMD@ChrisMalaisrie@OuzounianMD
This is heart wrenching! The toll of the Covid epidemic goes far beyond the “case fatality rate”. The physical and psychological toll on frontline HCWs and on families of inpatients is huge!! (And sadly hard to measure or adequately address..) https://t.co/cTaXx5Ur3u
Unusual case of massive saddle embolus 1 week post valve-sparing root replacement with total cardio-respiratory collapse. Pulmonary embolectomy followed by 2 days of VA ecmo. Diagnosis: HIT. The patient made a full recovery. @ICMtl
Packed room for @jctardif_mhi presenting the disruptive late-breaking COLCOT trial at #AHA19: 23% risk reduction in MACE with colchicine vs. placebo in post-MI patients.
