Rest in peace, Prof. Eugene Braunwald.

A true giant of modern cardiology, whose legacy goes far beyond textbooks and science into mentorship, kindness, curiosity, and the generations of physicians he inspired.

ViV-TAVR vs. Redo-SAVR: A Comparison

In our recently published study at @AmJCardio, we found:
1️⃣ Mortality & Stroke Rates: Similar between the two groups
2️⃣ In-Hospital Complications: Lower with ViV-TAV
3️⃣ Hospitalization Duration: Shorter with ViV-TAVR.

Pls see our recent article on the importance of #HealthDiplomacy, on the basis of our work in #LosAngeles. Was proud to co-author with @dr_ofir an exceptional Israeli cardiologist. #Medical #innovation is saving lives and Israel is leading the way! https://t.co/64CeYrSNjj

Why not use the £350 million pounds funding a week that was promised for the NHS if the population voted for Brexit (that would be £45 billion since we left EU until now) to fund a fair salary to all staff, investment in NHS services to drive reductions in waiting lists and excess deaths - or were these figures just made up?.

The only thing this intransigence achieves is medical staff leaving the UK, and a generation for your party on the opposition benches (from an ex-conservative voter)

Valve-in-Valve TAVR has no more future coronary events than native TAVR. Check out our study at the best abstract session in #CRT2023 in Washington, DC, and #JACCintervention. Kudos to our team and @abu_much and Ilan Merdler for sharing the session. @CRT_meeting @CedarsSinaiMed

[Dr. Ofir Koren @dr_ofir]

Check out our paper by Alon Shecther and Cedars-Sinai's team on the predictive value of mitral valve hemodynamic parameters in transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Well done! Kudos to the mentors Robert J. Siegel and Raj Makkar.

We are happy to perform our first #ShortCut patient at @CedarsSinai interventional team led by Raj Makkar. The new technology ensures coronary patency for ViV-TAVR patients and improves procedure outcomes. Thanks to the proctor team @DvirDanny @SCMDCARDIO at #PiCardia.

[Dr. Ofir Koren @dr_ofir]

We are proud to announce that after two years of tremendous effort and hard work, led by Raj Makkar, our book "Complex Cases in Structural Heart Intervention" has been published. We discussed, illustrated, and guided the most challenging structural procedures ever reported.
