EVENT INFORMATION:

 

Aortic Valve replacement has become remarkably safe and routine with operative mortality and stroke rates even in elderly subjects approaching (but not reaching) zero. However, disruptive technology changes the playing field, and we now have ways to implant a new aortic valve with the heart beating, the chest closed, the patient awake, and even participating in the procedure! Is this initial tidal wave of enthusiasm by early adoptors in the cardiovascular disease community (Dr. Markowitz included) justified, and are the results as good as we think? Come decided for yourself, and help us answer the question at this months Science Cafe Cleveland: "If it ain't broke, should we fix it anyway?"
