Excited to share our latest publication in Cureus describing a new robotic-assisted hybrid procedure for persistent atrial fibrillation - the "Robotic Convergent Plus".  Using the advanced Da Vinci Xi surgical system, we perform an epicardial ablation first, followed weeks later by an endocardial catheter-based ablation. The robotic approach provides improved visualization and precision to access key areas in the atria. Intraoperative 3D mapping guides our ablation strategy to target areas of abnormal electrical signals. We also monitor the esophageal temperature to maximize safety. In our early experience with 39 patients, this novel robotic approach has been safe and feasible. Compared to non-robotic methods, we found reduced operative times and a faster recovery for patients. More to come as we collect long-term data on atrial fibrillation outcomes. But we believe this represents an important step forward in the minimally-invasive treatment of this challenging arrhythmia.

Who has more pressure - pro athletes or surgeons? From S04E81 - From Columbia General Surgery to Robotics: Journey to Cardiac Surgery - Dr. Joseph DeRose Revisit the demanding yet rewarding world of surgical training with us as we sit down with Dr. Joseph DeRose, Professor and Chief of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Montefiore Einstein Medical Center. We share memories from our surgical residency days at Columbia University Medical Center, reflecting on the camaraderie, jokes, and resilience that shaped our careers. Dr. DeRose's journey from those formative years to his current leadership role underscores the importance of teamwork, hard work, and precision in the OR. Explore the evolution of surgical training and practice, where high expectations and competitive environments meet innovative advancements like minimally invasive procedures and robotic surgeries. Dr. DeRose offers insights into his pioneering work in robotic cardiac surgery, shedding light on how these technologies are transforming the field. The episode also touches on his mentoring relationships, particularly with Dr. George Todd, and explores the balance between clinical practice and leadership roles. Balancing the high stakes of surgery with personal passions takes center stage as we discuss the parallels between the precision required in both heart surgery and sports. Join us for this nostalgic and motivational episode, perfect for current and aspiring surgeons, as we journey from residency to becoming leaders in cardiothoracic surgery. #CardiacSurgery #SurgicalResidency #MedicalPodcast #SurgeryLife #SurgeonTalk #MedicalMentorship #SurgicalTraining #DoctorLife #HeartSurgery #MinimallyInvasiveSurgery #RoboticSurgery #MedicalCareer #SurgicalStories #MedicalProfession #SurgicalEducation #CardiothoracicSurgery #MedicalLeadership #Mentorship #SurgicalInnovation

🎉 Exciting news from Atrility Medical! They have been awarded $275,000 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for their groundbreaking project under the Small Technology Transfer Research Program Phase I. This award aims to develop an automated post-operative rhythm identification system through computerized evaluation of atrial signals. This innovation promises to enhance the accuracy and continuity of heart rhythm monitoring after cardiac surgery, potentially saving lives and reducing hospital expenses. #SBIR #STTR #HealthcareInnovation 💡 The project will address the limitations of current post-operative rhythm diagnosis methods, ensuring more accurate and continuous monitoring. The anticipated outcome is a real-time, easily accessible diagnosis system that could significantly improve post-operative care. The research type is Small Technology Transfer Research Program Phase I, and the award will last for approximately 11.5 months, starting on September 15, 2024, and ending on August 31, 2025. #MedicalResearch #Innovation #Healthcare

What a pivotal moment in #cardiothoracic #surgery, what a long road to get to this point and potentially life saving #LVAD technology that is now available to patients. Well done, Emory University and BrioHealth Solutions! 🫀 Here’s a good overview of #LVAD : https://lnkd.in/e9myNAyH

#SURGHUB As medics, it’s easy to get caught up in the technical aspects of our work, often overlooking the bigger picture. One thing that struck me while exploring SURGhub’s resources on burn care is their emphasis on treating the patient as a whole, not just the wound site. It’s a vital reminder that our patients are more than their injuries, something we often forget in the rush of our busy routines. SURGhub offers a range of educational courses that challenge our perspectives and expand our skill sets. Remember “No one is a fountain of knowledge.” Even in areas you believe you know inside and out, there’s always room to learn something new. I encourage you to visit SURGhub and explore their content. Whether it's burn care or any other topic, you’ll find insights that transform not just your technical abilities but your approach to patient care as a whole. More appreciation to The G4 Alliance SOTA fellowship program through which such opportunities are shared. Such a great project from RCSI Institute of Global Surgery ,The Global Surgery Foundation and United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)

Hey connections, check out our new update about #NeuRx_DPS_Electrodes #biozeephysis #atheenapandian #biomedical #global #platform #knowledge #panel #society #updates

Dear Biozeephysis updators, The #TriClip_G4_System is used to treat tricuspid regurgitation (leaky tricuspid valve) often caused by an enlarged heart or damaged tricuspid valve leaflets, without open-heart surgery. The TriClip includes a clip placed into the body, a delivery catheter, and accessories. The clip implant has arms that open and close, allowing them to attach to the flaps of the tricuspid valve of the heart (leaflets). The tricuspid valve is one of four valves of the heart that allows blood to flow from the right atrium (upper right chamber) to the right ventricle (lower right chamber) and prevents blood from flowing backward between the two heart chambers. A doctor inserts the catheter with the clip attached through the largest vein in the groin and pushes it forward to reach the tricuspid valve. The clip’s arms are used to grip the tricuspid valve leaflets and bring them together to narrow the space and reduce the leakiness of the tricuspid valve defect. When the clip is in the right position, it is released from the delivery catheter and the catheter is removed.
