Our team currently performs the world’s smallest incisions for mitral valve repair surgery using an endoscopic robotic approach with all percutaneous cannulation. Largest incision in the entire body is the 8mm working port (approx. the diameter of a pen) https://t.co/tZGPr8RLOc

Looking forward to being the keynote speaker at this solemn event honoring our fallen heroes.

Many meetings in cardiac surgery inform. Very few change what you do in the OR on Monday morning.

Join us for the inaugural State of the Art in Robotic Cardiac & Thoracic Surgery at @ClevelandClinic on July 17, 2026.

Focused on practical, hands-on innovation in:
• Robotic Mitral
• Robotic AVR
• TECAB
• Advanced Robotic Thoracic Surgery

Come advance your skills—and help shape what’s next in robotic surgery.

This is wonderful!

Robotic cardiothoracic surgery is expanding fast — but what does mastery require beyond technical familiarity?

Join @CleClinicHVTI July 17 for a CME course exploring operative strategy, decision-making & program-building.

FYI, despite military trauma surgeons largely leading the narrative on Iraq/Afghanistan wartime surgical care, the vast majority of that was actually provided by general surgeons, ortho, and sub-specialists of surgery other than trauma. https://t.co/1k6f2JTjzZ

@StephaneLeung @Dr_Ma_of_PUMC @jloumiotis @ChristianRosu @StephenSpindel You may absolutely be right, but would caution against being overly critical of other surgeons unless you know all the details of what they faced (such as serious bleeding of the aorta).

While regulating new variations in procedures sounds good, a “National Cardiothoracic Innovation Board” gives too much power to a privileged oligarchy in our specialty and is likely to dramatically reduce real advances in cardiac surgical care. 👎

This is a great technique for our surgery that I learned from Dr. Vince Gaudiani. Separate cannulas and circuit to the body and the innominate for differential head cooling. Head 20-24C, body 28-30C.

This was an incredible accomplishment by two surgical leaders with real grit - Jack Kolff and Michael Deeb who refused to back down against political resistance to giving Temple patients cardiac transplants. https://t.co/9B3v8pj2kN
