Important findings at #STS2026 🫀
LAAE alone isn't enough, it's ablation + LAAE that drives both long-term survival AND stroke reduction at 5 years vs. isolated mitral valve surgery in AF patients.
The future of AF is both surgery and ablation @jamil_borgi@nmarrouche
@georgetolisjr Agree. Graft keeps the arch in midline and makes it easier to replace.
Can’t say the same about a redo root with a previous ascending graft.
Had a fantastic evening in New Orleans with Dr. @nmarrouche@TulaneDoctors and Dr. @jamil_borgi@Tulane_Surgery, exploring ideas for launching a Convergent program focused on hybrid ablation to treat patients with long-standing persistent Afib.
@georgetolisjr I wouldn’t advocate for it for every patient or for every surgeon. Would be interesting to see pre and post CT measurements for LVOT for these patient, not sure if this is done yet or not.
@georgetolisjr I have to disagree . The annulus is generally the tightest part of the LVOT and is indeed enlarged particularly with the Bo Yang technique. The valve does not have to sit tilted unless you actually oversize it beyond your enlargement.
