Loving the teaching opportunities at my first wet lab with @MontefioreCTS residents, practicing coronary anastomoses this time. 1st of 4 wet labs this fall, excited for the next ones!

Grateful to have performed my final Ross procedure at Ochsner a few days ago. I’ve worked with an amazing team these past 6 years and am thrilled to join Montefiore next week, continuing my love of aortic surgery, heart and lung transplant, but now in New York!

It’s uncommon to operate solely for myocardial bridge over the LAD, but this 47 y.o. with recurrent angina had a rather impressive degree of dynamic LAD stenosis. Pretty straightforward operation to expose the intramyocardial LAD and great postop relief of symptoms
