Early surgery in asymptomatic patients with very severe aortic stenosis led to a lower risk of a composite of operative mortality or death from cardiovascular causes at 10 years than conservative care. Full RECOVERY trial results: https://t.co/tLqC25ccCJ

@NEJM @farkomd Duh!

@JordanBloomMD Have to perform a root enlargement. Cooley, et al greatly encouraged it

Cardiac surgical societies should require all “experts” to turn in a case list before they can sit on a national meeting panel and lecture the audience about “how I do it” or “how I teach it”.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick drops a wild irony bomb on Diet Coke:

You're ditching sugar to avoid insulin spikes and obesity... but aspartame (Diet Coke's main sweetener) reshapes your gut microbiome to favor bacteria that harvest glucose more efficiently — making you more prone to weight gain.

Animal studies show causal links; human associative data backs it up. The very drink people use to "stay lean" can backfire by shifting gut bugs toward obesity-promoting patterns.

One can occasionally? Probably fine.

One (or more) a day? You're constantly nudging your microbiome in the wrong direction.

The ultimate plot twist: Diet Coke might be sabotaging the exact goal it's marketed for.

Ditch the aspartame or keep sipping? What's your take on artificial sweeteners?

@academicaorta @farkomd @MaherSabalbal May use that one?😃

[Mark Mettauer @MarkMettauer]

@ldwijesinghe @farkomd @DentonCooley Absolutely! But Cooley would probably roll over in his grave, knowing that I use Castros now!

@thesurgerylife @farkomd @EvolveMedicus Thank you! I basically got tired of the Friday evening and weekend call for fistula disasters!

@farkomd @theblanketdog Human testing not complete but confident these parameters will be met

[Mark Mettauer @MarkMettauer]

@thesurgerylife @farkomd @EvolveMedicus Human testing not complete but confident these parameters will be met

[Mark Mettauer @MarkMettauer]

@theblanketdog @farkomd Yes. Extensive development went into flow rates specifically

[Mark Mettauer @MarkMettauer]

@farkomd @EvolveMedicus More than adequate. As we have not received final FDA approval and ongoing human testing is not complete, I cannot engage in specifics, but we are confident that the flow rates, recirculation percentages, and hemolysis are in line with contemporary two stick needle dialysis.

@EvolveMedicus brings you OnePoint! Check out single-stick for an improved outpatient dialysis experience. Soon to market pending final 510K approval by the FDA!! https://t.co/xDkpfFyBRe
