Wednesday mornings are dedicated time for resident education, featuring either a resident-led didactic with faculty or a wet lab.

This week was a great opportunity to learn AVR/MVR techniques from several staff! @JamesJYunMDPhD

Age and aortic length are important predictors of mechanical behavior in patients with bicuspid aortopathy. Read on to find out more!

@EricRoselliMD @CleClinicHVTI @CCF_CTSRes @Bptkramer

[AATS @AATSHQ]

Researchers at @CleClinicHVTI found age is superior to aortopathy phenotype as a predictor of aortic mechanics in patients with bicuspid valve. Get access by logging in to #JTCVS: https://t.co/BBGsHjztge

While most aortic coarctations are identified early in childhood, a subset of adolescent or adult patients have delayed diagnoses and undergo surgery later in life. Take a read to see how we handle primary coarctation repair in this demographic @CleClinicHVTI.

Check out our study of patients undergoing surgery for acute type A dissection.

🫀Operative/overall mortality slightly favored aortic over non-aortic cannulation.

So how does @CleClinicHVTI manage coarctation in adolescents and adults? 🧵

[Matthew Thompson @MattThompsonMD]

4. Reoperation is more likely after stented repair, but is generally for recoarctation and can be performed endovascularly.
