[HSF] [OT] Carpentier's Heart Valve Club Meeting

[Crittenden, Michael]

I attended also and it was an excellent meeting.  It surpassed my
expectations.  I will let Hal fill you in on the "specifics".  I am
sorry I missed Faisal while I was in New York.

Dear HSF Members:

I just attended a two-day long meeting held by Heart Valve Club at Mt.
Sinai
Hospital in NY. The course directors were Prof. Carpentier himself and
Dr.
David Adams.

It is always exciting to see the master of masters, Prof. Carpentier,
perform the live surgeries and teach his concepts with great enthusiasm
and
dedication. Our very own Ani Anyanwu was part of the faculty and gave a
great talk on "Assessing Outcomes Following Valve Reconstruction".
Another
very thought provoking lecture was given by Valentine Fuster about the
new
and evolving concepts in understanding the basis of valve calcification.
I
must say that the conference was a superb success on a whole and the
credit
goes to Dr. Adams and his team (especially Dr. Filsoufi and their
research
fellows) to put together such a wonderful program.

I'm sure Hal will share his comments with you soon since he was by all
means
one of the most attentive attendees. Furthermore, it was exciting to see
many back and forth discussions of the faculty of the course from the
podium
with Hal from his auditorium seat.

It was nice meeting you, Hal.

Take care,

Faisal
