Nice work, Alex
We also found a positive volume-outcome relationship for AAE during AVR: Hospitals performing just 12 or more during the study (avg >1 per yr) had lower mortality at 30 d, 1 yr, & 5 yrs compared to hospitals doing <1 per year #STS2026 @TsuyoshiKaneko1 @WashU_CT @STS_CTsurgeryView quoted post on X
SAVR +Y-incision AAE outperforms TAVR in hemodynamics in low-intermediate risk patients with severe AS during 3 years f/u. see our paper in JTCVS ENDO, (Fig below: mean G and EOA; PPM.) jtcvsstructural.org/action/showPdf…
This is why Ross, upsized Bentall, Ozaki and Y-AAE work so well for valvular AS without enlarging the LVOT. The LVOT is normal in AS patients. NO need to enlarge the LVOT. subaortic web and HOCM are different diseases, can be treated with web resection and myectomy.
Different types of left ventricular outflow obstruction.

With complete transaction of the ascd aorta for Y-AAE, it is very easy to access the MV through the dome of LA since MV is right underneath the root. This approach can be used for concomitant MV repair, replacement or LA Maze, LAA excision.
Happy to share our new publication and accompanying surgical video! @BoYangMD @UMichCTSurgery @AATSHQView quoted post on X
