It never ceases to amaze me how much a large ascending aortic aneurysm can displace the heart southeast in the chest. It's amazing that patients are usually asymptomatic! @AortaEd

We just performed the first aortic valve repair at the MGH using the HAART rigid annuloplasty ring for a young man with a forme fruste bicuspid valve with “swiss cheese” leaflets. Thanks to these master surgeons, Drs. Sundt and Rankin for being there to support this endeavor.

While I may not be a huge fan of minimally invasive cardiac surgery, a right mini-thoracotomy is a fantastic approach for addressing an atrial septal defect in a young patient. @MGHHeartHealth #ACHD

How is it possible that a study on TAVR vs SAVR in low risk patients gets published in the NEJM with equivalence at one year? Who cares about one year in low risk patients? #falsenews @NEJM @MGHHeartHealth

COR-KNOT fans BEWARE. This case provided further evidence of the danger of using rigid fasteners to secure an aortic valve prosthesis. #JUSTTIE

Just finished a reinforced Ross on a 36 year old male with unicuspid aortic stenosis. Post-op mean gradient 4mmHg with zero neo-aortic regurgitation. Feels great to do the only operation which restores normal life expectancy to a patient with AS. #Ross #Survive #NoPPM

While a bit scary, critical AS with LV failure can be a great indication for the Ross Procedure.  LVOT gradient went from 130/70 to 5/2 mmHg which is not possible with any prosthetic valve (SAVR or TAVR). EF from 20% to low normal post-bypass.   #survive #cureAS #ross #ACHD

Colleagues, please help...man in his 20s with 5.1 cm aortic root and severe AR. Leaflets are thin and mobile. He has an anomalous LCX coming from the RCA and traveling around the circumference of the basal ring. What operation would you do? @schaefers_hans @GebrineK

This was a fascinating and puzzling case of a man that presented with angina about one-year s/p acute type A aortic dissection with malperfusion. He had a history of Kawasaki Disease and had a chronic large RCA aneurysm that was actually growing and causing coronary ischemia,

@georgetolisjr Diameter based decision making is too primitive. We need better genetic testing and biomarkers to predict who actually needs to have surgery.

Calling all current-, future- or even anti-Ross surgeons. We have launched an international survey to better understand current best practices regarding all things Ross. The survey is anonymous and should take 5 minutes to complete. Please consider our survey.

@georgetolisjr I learned this from you and wholeheartedly agree. The fundamental problem is 40-45% of SAVR is complicated by PPM (TAVR no better). Since 100% of biological valves fail by progressive stenosis (SVD), all patients who undergo AVR with a biological valve will suffer from many

@jloumiotis Duke Cameron taught me to repair the valve prior to reimplantation. You have the best exposure and sewing it into the graft shouldn’t change the geometry. Nice case!

@jon_mcdonagh Hi Jon, i respect your comment and opinion but in the right hands the autograft can last for life. Emerging data from numerous large series have shown that freedom free reoperation on the autograft exceeds 90% at 20 years.

@LuisCastroMD @AortaSurg @DrZeigler1 @BoYangMD @M_Pompeu_Sa_MD Cool idea I do this routinely for the pulmonary valve, but have never considered it for the aortic valve. I wonder if it will outlast a smaller pericardial valve.

@DrManiCTSurgery @BrentKeeling I have had three cases like this in the last 6 months. The fasteners may be oriented correctly when you deploy them but you cannot control how the scar tissue forms around the sewing ring and how that may in turn angulate the fastener. This cannot happen if you just tie knots.

@jloumiotis @schaefers_hans @JJahanyarMDPhD Agree this valve does not look like it would be amendable to a durable repair. What was the age of the patient? I would’ve considered Ross versus what you did.
