Professor Ki-Bong Kim followed up more than 3000 patients with angiographic data at 1, 5 and 10 years after #offpump #CABG surgery. Amazing contribution on graft patency and #CABG result. His major contribution is probably #SAVE-RITA trial. @ICCoronary

Meta-analysis of subclinical leaflet thrombosis following TAVI: OAC but not SAPT or DAPT is efficient to prevent risk of SLT or reverse SLT. SLT is associated with 2.6-fold increased risk of stroke / TIAs. From @jaccjournals jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Which is the threshold of #highsensitiveTroponin you should consider a #leftheartcath after #CABG? Excellent publication on European Society of Cardiology Journals from BadOeynhausen group: 8000 ng/L within at 12-16 and 13000 ng/L after 24-48 hours. Very interesting paper. Michel Pompeu Sá

💥 This starts with surgeons stopping implanting small valves during the index SAVR… 💥Valve sizes 19mm, 21mm and even 23mm (depending on BSA) are not acceptable… 💥Aortic annulus enlargement during index SAVR will help, but risk is real… 💥BVF still questionable…

Ok, that is a pretty hard one (or at least I think so 😂) This filamentous structure was seen on TEE at the free edge of the NC aortic cuspid. During MVR, we removed it. What can it be? (No signs of IE) #cardiotwitter #cardio Michel Pompeu Sá @ihjaffer Luis J Castro MD Ale𝕏ander Weymann

Congratulations to the amazing Brazil's Albert Einstein cardiac surgery team for successfully completing their first 4 robotic cardiac surgery. I'm honored to witness this amazing achievement. #roboticcardiacsurgery Samuel Padovani Steffen @drGaiotto Lucas Cardoso
