What an incredible experience at the #MitralConclave2025! The energy, innovation, and collective passion for advancing mitral valve repair were truly inspiring. It was a privilege to learn from and connect with so many brilliant minds in our field.
This technique addresses the unique challenges of extensive leaflet redundancy and billowing, aiming for a stable, durable repair while preserving leaflet mobility. Discussing the nuances of resection planning, chordal management, with peers was immensely valuable.
I was honored to present on “Anterior Leaflet Rough Zone Resection for Mitral Valve Repair in Barlow’s Disease” during a session moderator by experts including Gorav Ailawadi, MD, MBA.
@JoChikweMD Awesome training.
A good mix of access to technology, variety and volume of patients as well as a very supportive training environment. Thank you for creating such an impressive training program.
Interesting conversations on healthcare funding and finance across continents.
My opinion is that the continents all have a resource to contribute towards reducing cost and improving service. Let’s share resources equitably.
I’m a consultant in private practice in London and I treat patients covered by private medical insurance every day.
If you think it’s better in the UK, think again.
I’ll share some stories I and my colleagues see every day. After reading these please DM me or share your own 🧵
