@AATSHQ@BouhoutIsmail@StephNguyenMD@DavidKalfaMD @abgoldstoneMD as the experience with the Ross procedure is increasing worldwide, it has become clear that for the vast majority of patients including children with preop AI, some kind of reinforcement at the annular, sinus and distal anastomosis is necessary
Jack was born with half a heart. He had 3 operations before he turned 3 due to a condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, where the left side of the heart fails to develop.

An artificial heart valve that can grow with the patient! Read about this new prototype from @ColumbiaPS's Dr. David Kalfa and his @ColumbiaMed team that could eventually reduce the number of surgeries many kids born with congenital heart disease undergo. https://t.co/b7Mms4o67Y
@AATSJournals@AATSHQ This article and data completely align with lived reality. we have to train fewer congenital heart surgeons but train them better.
It was my honor to present on the topic of Ebstein's Anomaly at the Ukrainian Children's Cardiac Center's 18th Ukrainian Congenital Heart Disease Forum. A reminder that despite ongoing wars and other calamities, babies are still being born with CHD and need treatment.
