my recent AATS Presidential Address. This was a difficult address to give. I don't like to talk about personal experiences and prefer to talk about surgery. Nevertheless, I am very glad I did it, and I hope it will serve younger surgeons well.

So glad Rob invited me to do this podcast with him! The topic is crucially important for the CHD community and our patients. Imperfect metrics used by commercial for-profit organizations only result in chaotic outcomes. Our editorial in JTCVS suggests some solutions

@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

@ColumbiaSurgery @ColumbiaMed @KidsAtColumbia This story is so important to other families afflicted with HLHS- there is always hope!

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.

"We truly re-engineer or redirect the blood flow inside of the heart so that the right ventricle is now that main pumping chamber," says @emilebachamd.

Now, at 12, he's a star hockey player and even started a clothing line that pays it forward: https://t.co/qH8bJHYL9U

@Dr_HaniNajm @greatarabminds @HHShkMohd Congrats Hani! well deserved

[Columbia Children's Health @KidsAtColumbia]

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

[Emile BACHA @emilebachamd]

@AATSJournals @AATSHQ This article and data completely align with lived reality. we have to train fewer congenital heart surgeons but train them better.

[Emile BACHA @emilebachamd]

@Dr_HaniNajm @HHShkMohd @ClevelandClinic @CleClinicKids Congratulations Hani! So well deserved

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.
