The fibrous skeleton is the heart’s true foundation. This transilluminated view reveals the aortic root with mitral & tricuspid valves, anchored by the central fibrous body. Where valve mechanics, conduction & surgery converge. #CardiacSurgery #Anatomy #BehindTheScalpel Image

🫀 Foldax aortic polymer valve prosthesis — 6-month results in an ovine model, compared head-to-head with Edwards Perimount. The new polymer design shows excellent hemodynamics and minimal calcification — a glimpse into the next generation of valve technology. Promising. Very.

Probably the most important slide of this year’s #EACTS2025 congress. #SAVR shows comparable results in registry and observational studies to those seen in RCTs. Interestingly, #TAVI seems to perform worse in real-world settings compared with randomized trials. 🔍 A sobering

Atrioventricular valve anatomy in congenital heart disease (CHD) varies widely & derangements in structure can lead to valve regurgitation. We present a CV Case Journal series comparing findings by 3D echo to pathologic heart specimens among patients w/ CHD. bit.ly/3LkOdgg
