A proud moment for UHN’s Peter Munk Cardiac Centre and Sprott Department of Surgery: our first robotic cardiac surgery is a success. Congratulations to Dr. Ali Hage, Dr. Maral Ouzounian and the teams across UHN whose expertise and dedication helped make this milestone possible.

Watching our #PGDConsortium grow and bring insights has been a joy! Consider short term MCS for LV unloading as opposed to ECMO for precision bridge authors.elsevier.com/a/1nktS… @laurentrubymd @KiranKhush1 @Edu_Rodenas @m_rivaslasarte @shelleyhallmd @hearthealthydoc @UHNTransplant

Grateful to The Globe and Mail for this. Any recognition reflects the extraordinary patients, colleagues, trainees and teams and at the end the work has always been—and will remain—about improving lives through science, surgery and service. @JavedButler1 @mvaduganathan @DLBHATTMD @GilbertTangMD @BobbyYanagawa @UofT @cscs_sccc @UnityHealthTO @UofTSurgery @uoftmedicine @shubhkpatel @ShelleyZieroth

What a great pleasure to teach the next generation of heart surgeons. Training and mentorship and teaching the trade of heart surgery is such an important and fulfilling role of academic cardiac surgeons like myself thanks to all the residents and Fellows who nominated me.

An open-label phase 1–2 study of biologic ventricular assist tissue in patients with heart failure showed increased target-wall thickness and gains in the left ventricular ejection fraction plus a reduction in symptoms at 3 months. Full BioVAT-HF study results: nej.md/4nQ3Knc
Editorial: Patching Up Damaged Hearts nej.md/4nTzLeh
Science behind the Study: Remuscularizing the Failing Human Heart nej.md/4o0ViBS
ALT CT scan images showing cardiac short-axis views at baseline and 3 months after BioVAT transplantation with 20 engineered-heart-muscle units. Arrows highlight the site of the BioVAT transplant. The image is from an article in the New England Journal of Medicine titled "Stem-Cell–Derived Biologic Ventricular Assist Tissue in Heart Failure" published on May 28, 2026. The trial name, BioVAT-HF, is in parentheses.
