Thank you Dr @MarcPPelletier for all the guidance! We share a structured roadmap which offers early-stage cardiothoracic surgery trainees a competency-guided path toward proficiency. https://t.co/YH4zQRkCDy @AdhamAhmedMD @TSRA_official @ThoracicStudent @yalectsurgery

Board Q of the day: What is the most common location for an intimal tear in a Type A Aortic Dissection? #TSRAED #AortaEd @AorticHope @ThoracicStudent

.@KyleWBlackburn, @JCoselli_MD et al published a study predicting perioperative risk of persistent paraplegia from preoperative factors in patients who undergo elective, open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Log in to your #JTCVS account to read: https://t.co/qobCDA0kNU

Now on @JACCJournals #JACCCaseReports - Management of complex endoleak from thoracoabdominal aortic endograft component separation. #AortaEd @AorticHope @irbaz_hameed @SamanthaColonn @yalectsurgery @UPMC_CTSurgery https://t.co/u2bevHRZzY

Excited to share our new @JACCJournals editorial on #robotic cardiac surgery in high–risk patients. Are we ready for prime time? 👉🏻 https://t.co/fkFitPPe2F

After propensity score matching, TAVR was associated with ⬇️ mid-term survival and ⬆️ heart failure readmissions vs SAVR in pts <65 years 🔗: https://t.co/fGjTHvBRPf @EishanAshwatMD @sarahyousefmd @DSGMD @Irsa_Hasan @IbrahimSultanMD @AATSHQ #JTCVS #JTCVSOpen #TAVR #SAVR

That’s a wrap on #TCT2025! 🙌 Strong finish for @UPMC_CTSurgery with three presentations on #TAVR outcomes. Great teamwork to close out an incredible meeting! 👏 Thanks to @crfheart and @TCTConference for an outstanding conference. 🌍❤️ #CardioTwitter #Cardiology #HeartTeam

Now on #GTCVS Unilateral versus bilateral ACP during aortic arch surgery 🫀 uACP associated with: 🧠 Higher transient neurological deficits ❌ No sig difference in permanent neurological deficits 💀 No sig difference in mortality https://t.co/BMcQVAwLLY

Case report demonstrates that rigorous bloodless medicine protocol implementation may achieve transplant outcomes comparable to standard practice 🔗: https://t.co/UmnxajOtAc @TheJHLT @DavidKaczoro #BloodlessSurgery #Transplant #BloodlessMedicine

Not all secondary #Mitral #regurgitations are equal. Careful assessment of the mechanism — ventricular vs. atrial, tethering vs. annular dilation — is essential to guide therapy. As @hahn_rt reminds us, precision imaging leads to precision intervention. #TCT2005 @crfheart

TAVR is safe in pts with mixed aortic valve disease, showing similar survival as those with predominant aortic stenosis despite higher post #TAVR paravalvular leak 🔗: https://t.co/14hOP5jPiW @AmJCardio @HviUpmc @Nav_Warraich1 @danial_ahmad93 @DSGMD @Irsa_Hasan @IbrahimSultanMD

A Halloween 👻 theme that is not reflective of reality. The Primary Endpoint was Positive in Favor of CABG over PCI and that is an Undisputed FACT. Any other take on FAME III is a questionable conclusion that is based on moving the goalposts

🔥Proud of our @UPMC_CTSurgery team as we prepare to share our latest work and discoveries at #STS2026! 🌟This reflects the dedication of our faculty, residents, students, and data team, advancing science together, one study at a time. 💪🏽🫀@STS_CTsurgery @IbrahimSultanMD

How do open access journals inspire more researchers to participate? This #OpenAccessWeek, we spoke with Top #JTCVS Open Contributor Ibrahim Sultan. See why he applauds the journal below. Submit to #JTCVS Open: https://t.co/acDdFAj2FH #OAweek @UPMC_CTSurgery

🎉 Excited to share that 7 of my abstracts got accepted for #STS2026 @STS_CTsurgery, including 4 orals!🎤 Proud to represent @UPMC_CTSurgery & share our work.🤝 Can’t wait to meet everyone there! @IbrahimSultanMD @MarcPPelletier @hunter_mehaffey @DrMoritzWvB @TheRakeshArora

Retrospective database study of CABGs did not find independent association between epiaortic ultrasound use & postop stroke 🔗: https://t.co/KqQefiTC5o 📹: https://t.co/UVUGLhxhIF @sarahyousefmd @M_Pompeu_Sa_MD @DSGMD @DavidKaczoro @IbrahimSultanMD @HviUpmc @AATSHQ #JTCVS #CABG

Surgeons found initial cannulation strategy impacts perioperative outcomes of acute type A dissection in high-volume centers. Read why they say axillary cannulation should be the preferred strategy in #JTCVS: https://t.co/ZfySJjA2ye @MElbatarny @OuzounianMD

We were honored to host Dr. Glenn Whitman from Johns Hopkins Medicine on 8/13, as part of our Visiting Professor Series. His talk, “Quality: If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it,” was insightful and inspiring. Thank you, Dr. Whitman! @HopkinsMedicine @UPMC_CTSurgery
