@MsRashmiYadav @EACTS @RBandH @FiedlerAmy @JoChikweMD @OPreventzaMD One of the best talks of the #EACTS conference. Congratulations.

[Dominic Emerson, MD @DEmersonMD]

Standing room only (plus a crowd outside) for @JoChikweMD speaking on our approach @CedarsSinai for robotic mitral repair. It’s more than just smaller incisions, it’s about the great long term outcomes! @EACTS @annalsthorsurg

[Kyle Purrman, MD @PurrmanKyle]

A great kickoff to #EACTS at techno-college. A lot of reasons to be excited about the future of cardiac surgery! 🫀

[EACTS @EACTS]

Expanding donor pool and organ utilization with OCS "heart in a box". Traditional heart ischemic times are ~4h. This heart came from across the country w 10hrs outside body. Fantastic job by @FiedlerAmy, @JasonWSmithMD, @LiviuKlein and HF team. UCSF did 3 OCS and 10txp this mo.

CARDIAC COWBOYS is an upcoming documentary podcast that chronicles the birth of open heart surgery. The story focuses on Dr. Denton Cooley, his work, and the many lives he touched. If you or a family member were a patient of Dr. Cooley, the team would love to speak with you!

[Kyle Purrman, MD @PurrmanKyle]

🫀Great live case @ecsclub! Total endoscopic aortic valve replacement by @AntoniosPitsis. I am always amazed how good the visualization of the surgical anatomy is through such a tiny incision.

[Kyle Purrman, MD @PurrmanKyle]

🫀A nice live case at Endoscopic Cardiac Surgeons Club in Thessaloniki! RAM Device used for mitral valve replacement. @ecsclub @mrjzacharias

[Kyle Purrman, MD @PurrmanKyle]

@ecsclub

[Kyle Purrman, MD @PurrmanKyle]

🫀Learning so much from these #MICS experts at #ECSC2022 Also - incidentally - having an awesome time in Thessaloniki. What a beautiful city to have a conference.

[Endoscopic Cardiac Surgeons Club @ecsclub]

All set for the inaugural forum in Thessaloniki. See you all soon!!

@Chris09201732 Not as many as you might think. On average, I probably create ~10 new reminders in a day that help remember the little things.

I use recurring reminders pretty frequently as well - water the plants, car maintenance, payment schedules - that keep ongoing things on track too.

📚✍🏻 Super proud. First textbook chapter in the books. "Esophageal Diverticula" in TSRA Review of Cardiothoracic Surgery. Also... congrats to my former co-resident @clauden_louis, the book's Editor, on an awesome accomplishment. Thanks for the opportunity.

[Kyle Purrman, MD @PurrmanKyle]

@DavidFarleyMD Also, can someone explain how 6 surgeons can possibly have done 10,000 cases/year? 5 cases per surgeon per day 365 days/year?

[Kyle Purrman, MD @PurrmanKyle]

@DavidFarleyMD This is exploitation and abuse. We should stop pretending that we WANT to live like this.

[Kyle Purrman, MD @PurrmanKyle]

@robertgriker I left my residency training program to pursue a better life for myself. Best decision of my life.
