Honored to receive the Nicholas T. Kouchoukas Award for the Top Abstract at #Aortic2024 Aortic Forum
for our paper :”Aggrecan is a Novel Biomarker of Ascending Aortopathy Associated Biomechanical Dysfunction: A Prospective Translational Study”
Thank you @AATSHQ & @EricRoselliMD

Surgeons at @CleClinicHVTI published a surgeon case study of the application of AQG in adult #cardiac surgery for quality assurance. See how the product allows for patient care improvement by reading more in #JTCVS: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcvs.2024…

Researchers at @CleClinicHVTI found age is superior to aortopathy phenotype as a predictor of aortic mechanics in patients with bicuspid valve. Get access by logging in to #JTCVS: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcvs.2023…
@Bptkramer @EricRoselliMD
ALT In total, 105 adults undergoing elective ascending aortic replacement in the setting of bicuspid aortic valve were enrolled. The aorta was resected en bloc and cut into specimens for uniaxial or biaxial testing from the aortic root, proximal, middle, and/or distal ascending regions. Age, ascending aortic length, and maximum ascending aortic diameter appeared the most frequently in variable importance plots denoting contribution to models of physiologic and failure metrics. We conclude that aortic tissue stiffens, withstands lower wall stress, and weakens with age. Bicuspid aortopathy phenotype and valve morphology were not associated with mechanical behavior. VIMP, Variable importance.

.@Bptkramer, @EricRoselliMD et al found age is the strongest predictor of mechanical behavior of aneurysmal ascending #aorta. Log in to #JTCVS to see what's next for understanding the effects of age, ascending aortic length, and thickness: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcvs.2023…
#AortaEd
#AATS2024 comes to a close (for me)! Toronto was an excellent @AATSHQ 🇨🇦
These meetings are a reminder of why we love CT surgery and the bright future of our field. See you in Seattle #AATS2025 #AortaED

Awesome presentation by @EricRoselliMD on the evolving role of endovascular aortic repair. Complementary technology that will allow us to treat more patients, treat patients earlier, and treat patients more precisely. #AATS2024 @AATSHQ @AATSED @CleClinicHVTI #AortaEd
Proud of my mentor @EricRoselliMD talking about, and leading, the future of endovascular devices and technologies for managing aortic disease. The future starts now!

@EricRoselliMD delivering an excellent talk on the future of aortic surgery and discussing the significance and integration of new endovascular devices for the hybrid management of aortic pathologies 🫀
#AATS2024 @AATSHQ @CleClinicHVTI @CCF_CTSRes – at Toronto, Ontario
Dr. Marijan Koprivanac @CleClinicHVTI presenting on the use case of @AATSHQ AQG (AATS Quality Gateway) #AATS2024. Examining the performance of our president @LarsSvenssonMD.
Incredible technical surgeon. Outstanding outcomes.
Modern analytical assessment.
Happening now @AATSHQ!
Superstar medical student @SnyderAbigail31 presenting on why we should use calcium quantification in evaluating patients with severe aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation.
Come join us in 718B
Mentorship Matters!
An excellent program this year @AATSHQ #AATS2024. The opportunity to connect and learn about the field with mentors aiming to continue the vision and success of AATS.
Please keep this program annually!
Thank you Dr. Meena Nathan @BostonChildrens
The man. The myth. The legend
Dr. Eugene Blackstone
Presenting @AATSHQ #AATS2024
AQG (AATS Quality Gateway). A 21st century model for predicting risk in patients across hospitals.
The modern world of machine learning and individualized risk! @LarsSvenssonMD @CleClinicHVTI
Overwhelming success at these morning session for Dissecting Dissections @AATSHQ #AATS2024 standing room only.
This is one of the best programs I’ve seen. Applause and accolades to @LarsSvenssonMD for leading a truly outstanding meeting.
Managing the aortic root in the setting of aortic dissection! 🫀
1. Well-functioning aortic valve
2. Alleviate coronary malperfusion
3. Obliterate false lumen
4. Replace when necessary
Excellent, clear, informative presentation from @OuzounianMD #AATS2024 @AATSHQ
Don’t forget: replacing the root is okay in the correct setting, but try to spare the valve!
1. Young Patients
2. More Stable
3. Normal Aortic Valve Cusps
4. Surgeon Experience

Managing pregnancy in aortic dissection. Incredible experience by Chinese Collegues at #BeijingAbzenHospital.
From their experience:
1) Repair after 28 weeks of gestation has best outcomes
2) Single stage delivery with concomitant C-section+Aortic Repair 🫀#AATS2024 @AATSHQ
Failing to plan is planning to fail!
Having a plan and pathway for the treatment of aortic dissection is CRITICAL to institutional success 🫀
