So truly honored and humbled to be named the inaugural Randall B. Griepp Professor in Cardiovascular Surgery today.
Dr. Griepp was a true pioneer, a sublime surgeon and a passionate scientist. I hope to live up to his legacy.

Congrats to my fellow awardees! @IcahnMountSinai

Great 2 days going over the latest about the #Rossprocedure at @MountSinaiNYC.
🙏 to the faculty & attendees from around the country and beyond for the collegial sharing of knowledge and expertise. This will no doubt benefit numbers of patients with AV disease around the world.

Very humbled and honored to lead the Heart Valve Society. Looking forward to further raising awareness and promoting worldwide collaboration around valvular heart disease. Thank you to my peers and the HVS Board for trusting me as your president. dicardiology.com/content/ismail…

- Mech: 1%/yr stroke / bleeding
- Bio: More reop + endocarditis

Excellent and very important study by @jenn_cy_chung and @OuzounianMD! Aortic disease, especially after a dissection, requires lifelong follow up in dedicated aortic clinics.
