Honored to receive the Nicholas T. Kouchoukas Award for the Top Abstract at #Aortic2024 Aortic Forum
for our paper :”Aggrecan is a Novel Biomarker of Ascending Aortopathy Associated Biomechanical Dysfunction: A Prospective Translational Study”

Thank you @AATSHQ & @EricRoselliMD

[AATS @AATSHQ]

Surgeons at @CleClinicHVTI published a surgeon case study of the application of AQG in adult #cardiac surgery for quality assurance. See how the product allows for patient care improvement by reading more in #JTCVS: https://t.co/G3E6Ff08sh

@AATSHQ @CleClinicHVTI @EricRoselliMD @karamlou @LarsSvenssonMD Excellent work by new I6 resident! @MattThompsonMD

[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

.@Bptkramer, @EricRoselliMD et al found age is the strongest predictor of mechanical behavior of aneurysmal ascending #aorta. Log in to #JTCVS to see what's next for understanding the effects of age, ascending aortic length, and thickness: https://t.co/AjcMbTx3wx

#AATS2024 comes to a close (for me)! Toronto was an excellent @AATSHQ 🇨🇦

These meetings are a reminder of why we love CT surgery and the bright future of our field. See you in Seattle #AATS2025 #AortaED

@scottlemaire speaking on the main stage @AATSHQ #AATS2024 about targets for identifying target for identifying and intervening on aortic disease.

In order to translate our findings to the clinic we have to understand what is happening in the tissue!

@AATSHQ #AATS2024 Presidential Address from the leader @LarsSvenssonMD @CleClinicHVTI

[Benjamin Kramer, DO, PhD @Bptkramer]

@AATSHQ We often see the giants and leaders of this field in such a light that it is unattainable we’d ever get there.

Every #AATS2024 president once stood in their shoes as a trainee. Every innovator once was a student.

We all start somewhere @EricRoselliMD

[Benjamin Kramer, DO, PhD @Bptkramer]

Dr. Marijan Koprivanac @CleClinicHVTI presenting on the use case of @AATSHQ AQG (AATS Quality Gateway) #AATS2024. Examining the performance of our president @LarsSvenssonMD.

Incredible technical surgeon. Outstanding outcomes.
Modern analytical assessment.

[Benjamin Kramer, DO, PhD @Bptkramer]

@SnyderAbigail31 absolutely crushing her #AATS2024 presentation on the impact of calcium on severe aortic stenosis and severe mitral regurgitation.
@AATSHQ

@TSRA_official and I6 Programs be on the look out for this outstanding adding applicant!

@KateEEngelhardt @NadiaBakirMD @CCF_CTSRes Representing the @WashU_CT team well here @CCF_CTSRes ��🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[Benjamin Kramer, DO, PhD @Bptkramer]

@NadiaBakirMD presenting on durability of anuloplasty repair in AFMR.

1) No difference in complications and survival-band vs. ring

2) No difference in Postop MR at 10 year

3) Durability is EXCELLENT with few reoperations and good long-term survival.

#AATS2024 @CCF_CTSRes

[Benjamin Kramer, DO, PhD @Bptkramer]

Happening now @AATSHQ!

Superstar medical student @SnyderAbigail31 presenting on why we should use calcium quantification in evaluating patients with severe aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation.

Come join us in 718B

[Benjamin Kramer, DO, PhD @Bptkramer]

Mentorship Matters!

An excellent program this year @AATSHQ #AATS2024. The opportunity to connect and learn about the field with mentors aiming to continue the vision and success of AATS.

Please keep this program annually!

Thank you Dr. Meena Nathan @BostonChildrens

@MattThompsonMD presenting @AATSHQ #AATS2024 on repair of coarctation in adolescents and adults 🫀

1. Overall survival between atender and grafted patients = SAME

2. Hypertensive meds are lifelong, least at 2 years postop.

3. Risk of reop is higher in at enter patients
