Honored that our study, “Aortic Annular Enlargement, Patient-Prosthesis Mismatch, and Long-Term Outcomes After SAVR,” has been selected as the J. Maxwell Chamberlain Memorial Paper for #STS2027.

A tremendous team effort. Looking forward to presenting our findings in San Diego and sharing the manuscript in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery. @MGHHeartHealth @AortaEd @mghachd @LucyLNam @AortaSurg

Dream come true to talk about the power of the Ross procedure with a group of legendary surgical leaders at the 100th annual meeting of the Halsted Society. Thanks to @motazqadan for making this possible!

[Jordan Bloom @JordanBloomMD]

Wrapped up another absolutely amazing Ross Summit at @MountSinaiNYC! Ross master @IHamamsy brilliantly performed two live cases for an incredibly engaged and inquisitive audience of surgeons from three continents.

Congratulations to the course directors, outstanding faculty, and all the attendees. And thank you to @ArtivionInc for supporting our mission to advance the Ross Renaissance.

Heading to Philly to @AVRS2026 for what I am certain will be another amazing meeting of like minded doctors committed to avoiding prosthetic heart valves and their well established resultant decrease in life expectancy. Hope to see you there. #RepairorRoss @AortaEd @BavariaMd @OuzounianMD @IHamamsy @chrisryanburke @NimeshDesaiMD @MGBHeartSurgery @mghachd

@M_Pompeu_Sa_MD @Creighton @ScottGoldmanMD @RobRodriguezMD @GianTorre610 Congrats to you, Creighton is lucky to have you!!

@yang12636767 Thanks for your comment. In this case the raphe (pseudo commissure) was about 3 mm lower than the true commissure. No stenosis whatsoever.

[Jordan Bloom @JordanBloomMD]

I usually stay away from unicuspid aortic valve repair but some valves are too nice to replace. This is a neat case of a healthy unicuspid valve that I bicuspidized using raphe reimplantation to convert the unicuspid valve to a Sievers zero bicuspid valve. I am curious what others would have done here. @AortaEd @BavariaMd @GebrineK @schaefers_hans @mghachd @MGHHeartHealth

[Jordan Bloom @JordanBloomMD]

Thanks for the comment Igor. You are certainly a thought leader in this space and some of your posts have inspired me to repair other UAVs. This is the first time I have reimplanted the raphe. Usually I have not had the luxury of this amount of orifice area. Curious about your thoughts about this move… after I did it, the valve really looked better and without it I was worried the valve might prolapse a bit.

@zlatp @AATSHQ Thanks for your kind words Zlatko!

[Jordan Bloom @JordanBloomMD]

I'm excited to share our new publication: "Demystifying Autograft Assessment and Implantation During the Ross Procedure." published in @AATSHQ

I was fortunate to train with extraordinary surgeons, including Thor Sundt, Duke Cameron, and Darryl Shore. Watching them operate, complex aortic root surgery and the Ross procedure looked almost effortless.

Then I started doing it myself.

I quickly learned that the hardest part wasn't understanding the operation, it was reproducing the countless technical nuances that expert surgeons execute instinctively.

This manuscript grew out of that experience. Through many imperfect operations and constant refinement, I developed a systematic, step-by-step approach to autograft assessment, marking, and implantation designed to make the procedure safer, more reproducible, and easier to teach.

I hope it helps shorten the learning curve for the next generation of Ross surgeons.

We recently celebrated a special #ROSSiversary at @MassGeneral. I'm incredibly grateful to every member of our multidisciplinary team and, most importantly, to the 150 patients who trusted me with their care. Here's to continuing to advance reconstructive aortic valve surgery, one patient at a time. #SurviveAS #Ross @mghachd @MGHHeartHealth

[Jordan Bloom @JordanBloomMD]

Sharing our algorithm for - A Patient-Centered Approach to Aortic Valve Replacement. Deciding on Ross vs. SAVR and prosthesis selection is all about the patient. Life expectancy and quality of life are the focus. #surviveAS #RossProcedure @AortaEd @mghachd

[Jordan Bloom @JordanBloomMD]

Friends, colleagues, former trainees: Learn how to repair the aortic valve from the masters at one of, if not the best meeting of the year in this space. See you in Philly! @AortaEd @BAVTAD @mghachd @mghctsurgery @MGBHeart @MGBHeartSurgery @MGHHeartHealth

Can new Ross programs be established safely?

Check out our new paper on Establishing a Ross Program published today in @OfValve76696

In our first 50 cases, with structured mentorship, careful patient selection, standardized technique, and institutional support, early outcomes were excellent compared with propensity-matched SAVR.

[Jordan Bloom @JordanBloomMD]

I agree with Cristian (congrats on excellent early outcomes). Ross is so complicated and for me the cognitive load can be super high. The routine parts of the operation need to be easy. Once I finish the autograft implant, the rest is a bit less intense. I also implant around 30 homografts per year for ACHD patients so that part is less foreign. Stephane, I am not sure there is a magic number but extreme confirm with complex aortic root surgery is a mandatory prerequisite in my mind.

[Jordan Bloom @JordanBloomMD]

Thanks to @Medscape for featuring the important work of both @IHamamsy and @OuzounianMD published in @JACCJournals on the Ross Procedure, calling it a new benchmark for aortic valve replacement.
