Honored to present Dr. Ozaki’s outcomes of Ozaki procedure using bovine pericardium @AATSHQ For patients with diseased pericardium or those undergoing MIS, midterm durability is similar to the Ozaki procedure with autologous pericardium or bioprosthetic AVR! @ShinyaUnai @MdGosta

Outstanding talk by @mahmoudshneikat on coronary aneurysms - great discussion and insights on patient profiles, disease progression, and the timing and approach to intervention. Stay tuned for our manuscript on the largest coronary aneurysm cohort.

“Always be prepared for invasion.” In native aortic valve endocarditis, invasive disease was present in 40% yet preop TEE/CT missed it in >50%. Allografts showed superior freedom from reop at 5y vs with AVR+patch. @HElgharablyMD @EricRoselliMD annalsthoracicsurgery.org/ar…

This is a big deal. Frequentist statistics have done a lot of damage to medical science. People rely on P values without really understanding what they mean. Many faulty conclusions have been made because of them. Once you understand Bayes methods, you’ll never rely on frequent tests again. Bayes methods are completely aligned with clinical thinking and should be the standard methodology used for statistical analysis in clinical research.

Had a great #SUO2025 meeting in AZ! Parenchymal volume analysis + degree of contrast enhancement on CT provides the most accurate prediction of new-baseline GFR after nephroureterectomy. Such predictive accuracy may help guide timing of systemic chemotherapy in UTUC patients

Also honored to show work w/ longtime mentors and colleagues Chad Klochko MD and Steve Soliman DO on novel work using radiomics on muscle ultrasound to predict insulin resistance! We believe that this could expand to less invasive and easier-to-access screening for metabolic disorders (instead of a needle now you get POCUS) We show that you can take a simple logistic regression classifier, train it on radiomics from deltoid US in a messy retrospective dataset to predict T2DM and that same model will predict insulin resistance very well in patients from a completely different institution! #RSNA25
