“The first-ever AATS Mitral Conclave was held on May 5th and 6th. The world's leading experts in mitral valve disease convened to discuss management guidelines, imaging, pathology, minimally invasive procedures, percutaneous approaches, surgical techniques, devices, and long-term results.
 Dr. David H. Adams is the Program Director of the AATS Mitral Conclave."With 39 faculty and 250 presentations, including selected abstracts and videos, our goal was to have a comprehensive meeting focused on mitral valve disease that would allow attendees to gain exposure to all of the common approaches used in the top centers throughout the world," said Program Director David H. Adams, MD. "We continue to see tremendous progress in our understanding of mitral disease intervention, and a great interest among surgeons in learning and advancing mitral valve repair strategies," said Dr. Adams, chairman of the department of cardiothoracic surgery at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York.”

“David H. Adams, MD, of Mount Sinai Medical Center discussed resection and nonresection techniques in degenerative valve disease in teenagers and young adults. In a series of videos, he showed a lesion-specific approach to valve reconstruction.
"One must be even more precise in younger patients with regard to available tissue and targeted resections in order to maximize leaflet coaptation and a long-term durable result. As many children and young adults are still growing and have small annular size, annuloplasty techniques must be carefully applied - which makes reconstructive procedures even more challenging in this population," Dr. Adams said.”

“David H. Adams, MD, Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Professor and Chair of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, has performed the first U.S. implantation of a new ring designed to treat deterioration of the heart's tricuspid valve. Dr. Adams also invented the device, called the Tri-Ad™ Adams Tricuspid Annuloplasty Ring, which was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is owned by Medtronic.”

“Three physicians at Mount Sinai Heart became the first team in the United States to perform a percutaneous implantation of a new device that replaces a diseased aortic heart valve, an advance that provides a viable treatment for patients too elderly or infirm to undergo open heart surgery. The device, called the Medtronic CoreValve® Transcatheter Aortic Valve Prosthesis, treats severe aortic stenosis with a catheter-based technology that does not require an incision in the chest or the use of a heart-lung machine.
David H. Adams, MD, Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Professor and Chair of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery; Samin K. Sharma, MD, Zena and Michael A. Wiener Professor and Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory; and Annapoorna S. Kini, MD, Associate Professor and Associate Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, have begun using the CoreValve system as part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's pivotal clinical trial. Dr. Adams is the trial's national co-principal investigator.”

“In 1968, Dr. Carpentier established a new era in heart valve surgery when he introduced the concept of annular remodeling with prosthetic rings. He later broadened this concept in an effort to treat all types of valve lesions. In this volume, he has joined 2 American colleagues, Drs. David H. Adams and Farzan Filsoufi, in describing a broad compilation of valve disorders and techniques for their repair.”
“In addition, the book is enhanced by discussions between Dr. Carpentier and his coauthors at the end of each chapter. Presented in a conversational style, these discussions focus on the nuances of each technique, practical challenges encountered in the operating room, and alternative techniques devised by other surgeons.”

“Minneapolis, MN - The long-awaited US trial of the CoreValve transcatheter aortic-valve system is set to begin soon now that the FDA has granted Medtronic an investigational device exemption (IDE) for the pivotal study.”
“The study, which the company expects to begin by the end of the fall, will be conducted at 40 US clinical sites and led by surgeon Dr David Adams (Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York) and interventionalist Dr Jeffrey Popma (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA).”

“Accompanying Dr. Nguyen on the trip was David H. Adams,
MD, the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Professor and Chairman of the Department of
Cardiothoracic Surgery. After obtaining a list of patients from local hospitals near Hue, Drs. Nguyen and Adams rolled up their sleeves and went to work with a clinical team that included anesthesiologists, echocardiographers, intensivists, perfusionists, and nurses from Mount Sinai and other hospitals around the United States. "It was particularly meaningful to be there working with Dr. Nguyen, who has already brought so much back to the very hospital where he was born," notes Dr. Adams.”

243 Mount Sinai physicians land on
New York magazine's "Best Doctors" list
Mount Sinai was distinguished in many ways in New York magazine's "Best Doctors 2007" issue. Our doctors composed almost one-fifth of the total list, and there was at least one Mount Sinai doctor represented in nearly every specialty reviewed. Areas in which Mount Sinai was particularly well-represented include gastroenterology, cardiovascular disease, surgery, urology, thoracic surgery, pediatrics, and occupational medicine. The magazine's list is drawn from a third-party survey of 12,000 medical professionals in the tri-state area.

Bernadine Healy, M.D., on Mitral Valves: Repair or Replace?
“Missing out. The actual number getting repair is closer to 50 percent, and that's unacceptable, says David Adams, head of heart surgery at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. "Too many miss out on optimal surgical treatment," he says. But this is fixable. Surgeons who offer patients only valve replacement because that's what they do well must think again. So must cardiologists reluctant to refer patients elsewhere for care. And insurance providers, who make doctors and patients jump through hoops for treatments outside of their networks, can't fight clear-cut practice guidelines.”
