🔥Hot off the press🔥 If you want to have an overview of the current state of #TAVI #TAVR #explant, read our paper just published in the 💥Annals of Cardiothoracic Surgery💥 💡Free access here: https://lnkd.in/dzP99yUC #StructuralHeart🫀 #AorticValve #HeartValves 💡#TAVR explant remains an event of low incidence, but its clinical impact is non-negligible. 💡With the expansion of indication of #TAVR in younger lower-risk patients, the incidence of the procedure will increase, which will make #TAVR explants part of the lifetime management strategy of patients with #AorticValve diseases. 💡Nice collaboration with Eishan Ashwat Xander J.

🏥What an awesome 2-week program it has been! After visiting HENRY DUNANT Hospital Center I had a wonderful experience as a student extern in the departments of interventional cardiology, electrophysiology and cardiothoracic surgery, coming in contact with exceptional physicians and attending a multidisciplinary course, with different cases. 🫀Special thanks to Dr. Vaios Tzifos MD, PhD (Head of interventional cardiology department) and Dr. Papadaki, who as true experts in their field, helped me gain a holistic view of their domain and were really keen to explain every aspect of it, making me delve into their world and explore it. #cardiology #heart #medicine #cardiologist #doctor #medical #cardiovascular #cardio #health #ecg #hearthealth #echocardiography #heartdisease #cardiac #hospital #healthcare #medicalstudent #surgery #doctors #covid #medstudent #echocardiogram #cardiologyfellow #medschool #ekg #cardiacsurgery #physician #anatomy #interventionalcardiology #electrophysiology

As the Product Executive for Siemens at DIMO Healthcare and a biomedical engineer, I'm thrilled to share how our ARTIS angiography systems are revolutionizing the healthcare sector. These advanced solutions for interventional radiology, cardiology, electrophysiology, and surgery not only enhance precision, safety, and efficiency in every procedure but also bring significant clinical and technological advancements to our catheterisation laboratories (CATHLABs). Clinically, Siemens CATHLAB systems support healthcare professionals by providing high-quality imaging that enables precise diagnosis and treatment of complex conditions. The advanced imaging capabilities facilitate minimally invasive procedures, reducing patient recovery times and improving overall outcomes. These systems also help in reducing the radiation dose administered to patients and staff, thereby enhancing safety without compromising image quality. From an engineering perspective, the technology behind Siemens CATHLAB systems is truly impressive. The ARTIS platform employs flat emitter technology, which significantly enhances image quality while minimizing radiation exposure. This is achieved through the efficient management of X-ray beams and advanced image processing algorithms. Additionally, the systems are designed to be highly customizable and upgradeable, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of medical technology and provide long-term value to healthcare institutions. The integration of these state-of-the-art solutions into our CATHLABs underscores our commitment to supporting medical professionals in their mission to improve patient outcomes. By combining clinical excellence with engineering innovation, we are paving the way for safer, more effective, and more efficient patient care. #DIMOHealthcare #SiemensHealthineers #ARTISAngioSystems #HealthierNation #InnovationInHealthcare #BiomedicalEngineering

🌟 Revolutionizing Spinal Fusion Success! 🌟 A groundbreaking framework has been introduced to standardize the evaluation of spinal fusion outcomes, merging clinical symptoms with radiological findings. This initiative aims to enhance precision in post-surgical assessments, ultimately improving patient care. 🔍 Key Highlights: - Comprehensive review of over 1,324 spinal fusion operations. - Development of a clinical algorithm for practical use by physicians. - Incorporation of advanced imaging techniques for detailed assessments. This unified approach not only addresses the inconsistencies in current evaluations but also promises to streamline decision-making for spinal surgeons. By establishing clear benchmarks for success, we can enhance patient satisfaction and reduce postoperative complications. 📈 This marks a pivotal step towards more effective and standardized spinal care! 👉 Click the link to learn more about this significant advancement in spinal surgery practices! #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalResearch #PatientCare #Publications #RegulatoryAgencies #SpinalFusion #SurgerySuccess #MarketAccess #MarketAccessToday

Year in review 🔙 In April it was announced that a medical team at University of Galway had developed a way to conduct less invasive heart bypass surgery that would help improve patient care and lead to substantial savings in healthcare costs. Trial chairman, Prof Patrick W Serruys said: “[This] puts University of Galway on the frontline of cardiovascular diagnosis, planning and treatment of coronary artery disease.” Read the article: https://lnkd.in/e4GhtSV5 #UniversityofGalway #YearinReview #Research #HeartBypass #Healthcare #AI #CORRIBCoreLab

Social determinants of health such as inequity in care access and systemic bias are associated with operative and longitudinal mortality after congenital heart surgery, new research suggests.

Surgery is performed in three dimensional space, so why do we still teach our residents using 2D tools outside of the operating room? Together with my friend Elias Kikano, MD at Emory University School of Medicine we’ve started to look at ways to incorporate video didactics using Apple Vision Pro into radiology and urologic surgical education. Thanks to Urology Times for the highlight, and more to come on how we’re using this amazing tech to help prepare the next generation of physicians. https://lnkd.in/g4SDxHmN

Cardiology Milestones Throughout History (Part 4) First Successful Cardiac Surgery: 1893 Dr. Daniel Hale Williams founded the first black-owned hospital in the US, and performed the world's first successful heart surgery, in 1893. Cardiology, the study of the heart and its functions, has a rich history with numerous milestones that have significantly advanced our understanding and treatment of heart disease. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to highlight some interesting historical facts about key cardiology milestones. #Cardiology #Cardiologist #Heart #Cardiac #HeartHealthy #HeartHealth #CardiovascularHealth #BeatHeartDisease #Orillia #medicine #doctor #healthcare  #Barrie #Newmarket #HealthyHeart  #HeartCare #Hearthealthyliving #Afib #HeartPatient #AtrialFibrillation #cardiacsurgery #HeartDoctor #HeartPatient #MedicalHistory Heart & Stroke American Heart Association
