Big thanks to the Brazilian-German Embassy and Consulate for officially publicizing our last activities in Brazil 🇧🇷 👏 Grateful for the opportunity to launch minimally invasive cardiac surgery in South America 🫀 👉 See more: shorturl.at/6Hf7k

The invasive therapy of left main lesions has been a controversial topic. In our last review we summarize the available evidence and stress on the importance of understanding the anatomical and mechanistic differences when choosing the best treatment: shorturl.at/WN4As

#SAVR vs. #TAVR in patients ≤60 y in California: ✅ #TAVR increase from 7.2% to 45% ✅ 30d mortality similar (0.2% vs 0.4%) ✅ 5y hazard for mortality: HR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1-3.7, p=0.02 ✅ reoperation almost double with #TAVI (2.2% vs 3.8%, p=0.25) ⅓ annalsthoracicsurgery.org/article/S0003-…

When you meet some friends and make new ones at a dinner with MICS surgeons. Torsten Doenst Hristo Kirov Tulio Caldonazo Joseph Zacharias Rodrigo de Souza MD Dmytro Babliak, MD @matheusheluany @hriskirov

✨ Such an incredible experience performing a double valve replacement at the largest minimally invasive cardiac surgery meeting in Latin America! 🫀Amazing to see such an interested audience

Minimally invasive valve surgery- how htc_jena does it! Torsten Doenst shared our concepts for modern minimally invasive single and multiple valve surgery, teaching motivated Latin American surgeons! Happy to be a part of this extraordinary event with Torsten Doenst and Tulio Caldonazo

Good to hear ⁦Torsten Doenst⁩ explain that the “WHY” is the first challenge to overcome in moving away from sternotomy!!

Amazing time in MICS world! Sharing knowledge and experience really good memories with the best! Thanks for this opportunity!!! instagram.com/reel/C_Gve5qJ-…

🫀Thrilled to join this incredible faculty together with Torsten Doenst and Hristo Kirov in order to bring surgical insights from our MICS-experience 👏🏻Special thanks to MMSantoro and Rodrigo de Souza MD for this tremendous organization

❗️Late-Breaking Science by Torsten Doenst at #ESCCongress ❗️ 👉In a regional registry analysis, SAVR was associated with increased long-term survival compared to TAVI - independent of the region of the world! 👉 Not a single study favored TAVI 👉10 out of 13 studies favored SAVR

Congratulations Tulio Caldonazo Torsten Doenst to get this presentation at ESC!👏🏾. Hopefully we can look at the data in the U.K. soon. BHVS Madalina Garbi Vass Vassiliou

📈 Delighted to present our findings at #ESCCongress 👉The use of FIB-4 to determine subclincal liver fibrosis may be powerful to predict mortality in CAD populations which may not show any evident clinical signs of liver dysfunction 👏🏻 Uniklinik Jena Weill Cornell Medicine Cardiothoracic Surgery

❗️Late Breaking Science presented by Elmir Omerovic at #ESCCongress❗️ PCI or CABG for MVD in NSTE-ACS?-SWEDEHEART registry report: 👉 CABG is associated with ⬇️ risks of mortality, MI, repeat revascularization, and heart failure patients, particularly in high-risk subgroups!

💊Colchicine reduces POAF in patients after CABG! 🫀 Big contribution by Hristo Kirov at #ESCCongress in London

Sachin Goel Torsten Doenst Patrick Myers Michel Pompeu Sá Victor Dayan Faisal Bakaeen MD Mateo Marín-Cuartas Dominique Vervoort Andrea Amabile, MD Ovidio García Wei-Guo Ma, MD Maral Ouzounian Validation of RCTs is important- see examples in the pharmaceutical industry where a number of drugs have been withdrawn after successfull completion of RCTs and worse results in the post market studies- cerivastatin for example! No registry worldwide in favor of TAVI is a fact

🆕After invasive CAD therapy, change in short-term Qol was associated all-cause mortality in an ISCHEMIA-trial post-hoc analysis! Presented by Tulio Caldonazo at the #ESCCongress in London!

Colchicine might be beneficial in CABG. Find out in our latest publication American Journal of Cardiology : 👉Meta-analysis of RCTs: perioperative administration of colchicine is associated with a significant reduction of atrial fibrillation rates after CABG❗️❗️ 👉more: t.ly/N5j6M
