Passionate about the intricate art of cardiac surgery. Sharing educational insights, inspirational stories, and many more.

As a student, when I first became interested in cardiac surgery, Prof. Friedrich Wilhelm Mohr's name always represented innovation, a relentless pursuit of excellence, and the courage to achieve what was once deemed impossible. A dream of mine came true - to meet one of my idols.

If anyone thinks this 51 yo with this angiogram should not get a CABG, they and I have been reading different books.

2-This was not a CABG population to start with:
-Very low SYTAX score=17
-Majority presented with ACS
3-All-cause mortality at 1yr was x3 that of FAME III
4-Don’t understand the rationale for comparing CABG vs PCI. It has no relevance to this trial

Why are we still so focused 🔍on LVEF? 🤔
EF is only one component of cardiac function. A “normal” EF does not necessarily mean normal cardiac performance. Shouldn’t we pay more attention to stroke volume and cardiac index? https://t.co/DoeidBxwtn

Turnover time isn’t just an operational metric—it’s a true quality indicator. Efficient OR turnover reflects strong teamwork, clear processes, and ultimately translates into better patient access, safer care, and a more sustainable workload for surgeons.

[Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA @DrDiGiorgio]

Doctors in large centers don't realize what a life-changer fast operating room turnover times are.

For those that don't know, the turnover time in OR's varies widely between hospitals. That's the time it takes to clean the room and set up for the next case.

In efficient hospitals, especially those that are physician owned, it can be as quick as 20 minutes. In large academic hospitals, it can push 4 or even 5 hours.

Think of the difference that makes for quality of life, patient care, and revenue.

A doctor who has a large waitlist of patients might be at the hospital until 8pm and still only get two surgeries done because the turnover time is so long. That same doctor could get 3 or 4 surgeries done in a more efficient hospital, getting home in time to have dinner with his family.

A physician owned hospital would never tolerate a 4 hour turnover time. That's money being lit on fire. Yet hospitals tolerate this all the time because they don't face competition. There's no incentive to run efficient.

So the patients have to wait longer for their surgery, the doctors get frustrated, and everybody loses.

"As a child, I promised my mother I would win the Nobel Prize in Physics. 50 years later, I said to my mother, 'See, I have kept my promise. I won the Nobel Prize.' 'No,' said my mother, 'You promised it would be in physics!'"

Some conversations stay with you long after they end.

Speaking with @JCoselli_MD was a dream come true and a true honor for me — a discussion on mentorship, judgment, and a career devoted to surgery of the thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta.

[Timur Kyashif @TimurKyashif]

Imagine being trained, inspired, and shaped by the legends who built modern cardiac surgery: DeBakey, Cooley, Crawford.
For most of us, this remains a dream.
For him, it was reality.

This Christmas.

[Silvi Rouskin @silvirouskin]

Left Bulgaria at age of 15 to go to colleague in the US studying physics. Saw my family 4 times in the span of 20 years. Worked every Christmas and other holidays. All my grandparents died without me knowing. I haven’t met most of my cousins. My mom died without me knowing and I’ve never been to her grave. Graduated from UCSF with a Nature paper(among others) , was a WI /MIT fellow with a corresponding author Nature paper( among others) , was hired at Harvard as an assistant professor only to be called “Diversity Hire” by many. Thank you physics…

@drjohnm @HrisKirov @divaka_perera If we keep calling PCI and CABG revascularization, we will keep blurring our perception of outcomes, because we do not understand the underlying treatment mechanisms (https://t.co/gM9qSccvnc).

[Hristo Kirov @HrisKirov]

🚀 All-arterial, off-pump, no-touch aorta CABG
👨‍⚕️ 51y obese pt, RCA CTO, 3 failed CTO-PCI, CCS III angina, wanted durable solution w/o sternotomy.

✅ Approach:
• LIMA+RIMA (I composite graft)→ PDA
• MICS access
