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.

Over 50% of patients under 60 in California are getting TAVR. This is absurd! Huge shoutout to @JoChikweMD and team for exposing the alarming truth: TAVR has a 250% higher risk of death in 5 years compared to SAVR.

One year outcomes of TAVR in young low risk patients make it into @NEJM boasting great outcomes and driving massive change in practice. @JoChikweMD and colleagues show a 220% increase in 6 year mortality for matched patients undergoing TAVR compared to SAVR. #DontDrinktheKoolAid

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
