This increase was exclusively observed in low volume centers, highlighting the need for concentrated expertise and dedicated centers for this operation.

Finally!! One of the most important #RossProcedure papers of the modern era published in JACC by @AmineMazineMD and @OuzounianMD. Their findings solidify the importance of high volume surgeons/centers and the safety and efficacy of this procedure. #surviveAS @mghachd @AortaEd @MGBHeart

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dominique Vervoort, a talented young cardiothoracic surgeon whose impact far exceeded his years in training.

Dominique was a PhD candidate in Health Systems Research and Vanier Scholar at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto. His doctoral work focused on disparities in the care of thoracic aortic disease, reflecting his profound commitment to equity in healthcare.

A passionate advocate for global surgery and public health, he was also an extraordinary social media ambassador for the EACTS Annual Meeting and other initiatives, generously donating his time to amplify science, live-tweet our sessions and help extend the reach of our Annual Meeting worldwide.

Our thoughts are with Dominique’s family, friends and colleagues. He will be greatly missed.

[Maral Ouzounian @OuzounianMD]

The world has lost a shining light.

@DVervoort94 walked this world with grace, compassion, and a deep passion for health equity.

We are heartbroken to have lost Dom and are grieving with his family and all those around the world who knew him and loved him.

[Michael Chu @MichaelMwachu]

@OuzounianMD @DVervoort94 Heartbreaking. Dom, you will be missed. 😢

@drjohnm Impressive results. Trying to understand why such a dramatic effect when all previous trials with fish oils have been negative. Is there something more than just the high risk patient population?

[Michael Chu @MichaelMwachu]
