10 years ago, a cardiac surgeon saved my life. Today, I matched into my dream program at @CCF_CTSRes to become a cardiac surgeon myself. While it still feels unreal, all I can think about are the numerous mentors that showed me love and kindness. I can’t wait to pay it forward. – at Nashville, TN
One of my favorite conference talks thus far by Dr. Trahanas on ECMO management at #STSA. Love the chance to catch up with Vanderbilt mentors at conferences! @VUMChealth @VanderbiltU @OfficialSTSA

An honor to learn from @FaisalBakaeen while coauthoring this invited review of Michigan's statewide efforts to increase arterial grafting in #CABG.

Read about the lessons they offer for translating evidence into practice here:

Just published: our review of temperature mgmt in cardiac surgery. Hypothermia may improve end-organ protection but at the cost of coagulopathy. Without a single best approach, CPB temperature should be individualized to the patient, operation, and center

Dr. Unai from @CleClinicHVTI presenting on complex redo radiation surgery with @EricRoselliMD on the panel. Audience asked to argue their points, and @MichaelTongMD steps up! Our Wednesday morning complex case discussions from Cle happening right in the middle of @AATSHQ
An honor to present two of our papers at this year’s @AATSHQ conference, in huge thanks to @CleClinicHVTI @CCF_CTSRes and mentors such as @HElgharablyMD @JamesJYunMDPhD. More to come as they become available in @AATSJournals!

Presented the COMMENCE Trial at #AATS2026 - the 10 yr data is encouraging, showing low rates of structural valve deterioration & reoperation, even in younger pts who typically face higher risks.
This tissue technology could reshape how we think about biological valve durability.
Another @CleClinicHVTI stage presence in @RohunBhagat giving @TSRA_official updates, including the new Indications textbook @AATSHQ

During talk with @shaunwhite, he is surprised by his surgeon who performed his operations when he was a child. #AATS2026

Packed room while @daniel_ragheb give a great presentation on our radiation heart disease cohort. Clear, impactful pearls to keep in mind when managing these complex patients. Make sure to give our paper a read.
Presenting now and newly published in #JTCVS: Cardiac Reoperations in Patients with Prior Thoracic Radiation: A Single-Center Analysis of Outcomes and Key Lessons. @ahmedawadmd, @HelgharablyMD, et. al. Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcvs.2026…
Some outstanding representation from @CleClinicHVTI during @AATSHQ this weekend. Excited to see mentors and peers share their expertise.

“If you want to do research with AQG, you can create modules that give a deep dive into outcomes in your hands at your hospital.” @AskDrMarc #AATS2026
How does type of radiation impact outcomes in redo surgery? Is there harm in leaving moderate valvular disease at index operation?
Sunday @ 3:00pm in 351! Incredibly grateful for @HElgharablyMD’s mentorship. Excited to hear others’ thoughts and expertise.

I’m excited to be in Chicago this weekend for #AATS2026 with many of my @CleClinicHVTI colleagues!
This weekend will be a great opportunity to connect and contribute to important conversations about the future of cardiothoracic surgery.
A joy to have such talented and enthusiastic teachers so ready to share their expertise @CleClinicHVTI
