🧵regarding the important suturing concept of whether to use one bite to grab both ends of the tissue ('taking it in 1'), versus using two bites ('taking it in 2'). We will go over some technical pointers about each of these, especially as they pertain to Lembert sutures.

Excited to present our latest work from FerrariLab @Columbia today at #aha2022: POZ as a Novel Mitigation Strategy in Bioprosthetic Heart Valves Affected by Calcification and Structural Degeneration in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome

The Biomaterial side of FerrariLab @Columbia was a little jealous of the Cell Physiology @EstiCastillero 's Science Translational Medicine paper of last week so Alexey Abramov, MD MS and Yingfei Xue decided to have their PNAS paper accepted today. I love you all equally - Congrats 🥳

Happy Holidays from all of us FerrariLab @Columbia 🔥🎅🎄🤩🍪

Risk Factors impacts durability of implanted medical devices. @Lab_Ferrari is pleased to announce our @PNAS paper Bioprosthetic heart valve structural degeneration associated with metabolic syndrome: Mitigation with polyoxazoline modification pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

POZ mitigate SVD in vivo in a MetS rat model with subcutaneous implants.

This is the first precision medicine strategy for MetS patients. Enjoy the reading !

I am immensely proud of my team at FerrariLab @Columbia, my co-author Yingfei Xue, and thankful for my mentor Giovanni Ferrari PhD for their contributions to this incredible work published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Please RT. Looking for a #postdocjob in #Bioengineering or #CellBiology? Want to live in NYC? FerrariLab @Columbia is hiring! My research program is focused on the molecular mechanisms of #mitral valve and on the blood-material interface of implantable #biomaterials. 👇🧵👇

Today felt like one of those BIG days in surgery residency. Did my first lap chole all the way through with the very surgeon who brought lap choles to Columbia Surgery. What a dream! And shoutout to my very cool chief who led me through it Alexey Abramov, MD MS

Heading to #AATS2023 ? Interested in #CHD and #Biomaterials? Don't miss FerrariLab @Columbia 's: Mitigation of Structural Valve Degeneration in Bovine Jugular Vein with POZ Modification. Sat, May 6 Alexey Abramov, MD MS will present at the AATS C.Walton Lillehei Resident Forum Columbia Surgery

Congratulations to superstar cardiac fellow Alexey Abramov, MD MS on presenting his research from Columbia Surgery Residency on preservation in lung transplant AATS #AATS2025! An excellent talk and important topic!
