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.

@FaisalBakaeen discussing the role of age in revascularization decisions. Interesting study from @Tulane showing that CABG may be associated with lower mortality vs PCI from 90 days to 5 years in patients aged 60–75 and ≥75 with LVEF ≤35%.

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.

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
