ROSSINI-Platform launched today! The largest @NIHRresearch surgical trial to date. And the first patient was randomised was @SouthTees thanks to the @ACUSouthTees. Don’t know about it? You should. 25,923 patients to go! Get involved. @BhamCTU @SCTSUK @SCTS_Students @SctsStudents

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of Professor David Taggart, distinguished cardiac surgeon, academic and President of SCTS from 2010 to 2012. On behalf of SCTS, we extend our deepest condolences to David’s family, friends and colleagues. @AmanCoonar

The AFFECT pilot period ends in just a few days — but the door to recruitment is wide open and there’s still time to help shape what comes next. Thank you to all our patients and site teams who have worked so hard; let's continue building momentum!

Interesting pooled analysis of 7 year follow-up in #TAVI - #SAVR trials: all-cause mortality curve for TAVI in low risk patients climbs steeply after 5 years. In patients with 10-15 year expected survival, this shows the importance of long term results

One of the most effective interventions in modern medicine is a coronary bypass operation on a young, otherwise healthy patient with virgin coronary arteries.

Five-year survival rates following SAVR for aortic stenosis are better than TAVI, based on analysis of RCTs and observational studies. These findings encourage guideline writers to consider more observational data in their future recommendations. tctmd.com/news/savr-bests-ta…
