MAC: Novel Grading System Based on Multimodality Imaging Aims to Fill Gaps in Care Guidance. Systematic quantification & evaluation will shape surgical, transcatheter treatment of valve dysfunction. @SergeHarbMD @ShinyaUnai_MD @TallRoundsTM https://consultqd.clevelandclinic.org/mitral-annular-calcification-novel-grading-system-based-on-multimodality-imaging-aims-to-fill-gaps-in-care-guidance/  … – at Cleveland Clinic – Main Campus

This is the largest series on reoperations in patients w patent BITAs. RITAs crossing the midline are at increased risk of injury & should inform planning during primary CABG. Risk of low cardiac output underscores the challenge of myocardial protection. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34597684/
