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.

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

Presented the COMMENCE Trial at #AATS2026 - the 10 yr data is encouraging, showing low rates of structural valve deterioration & reoperation, even in younger pts who typically face higher risks.
This tissue technology could reshape how we think about biological valve durability.

How does type of radiation impact outcomes in redo surgery? Is there harm in leaving moderate valvular disease at index operation?
Sunday @ 3:00pm in 351! Incredibly grateful for @HElgharablyMD’s mentorship. Excited to hear others’ thoughts and expertise.

I’m excited to be in Chicago this weekend for #AATS2026 with many of my @CleClinicHVTI colleagues!
This weekend will be a great opportunity to connect and contribute to important conversations about the future of cardiothoracic surgery.
