On behalf of our patient community, I want to thank the 12 surgeons who helped me film an educational video series at The Society of Thoracic Surgeons meeting in San Diego. I was really humbled that so many awesome surgeons came together to film videos about heart valve disorders, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease and aortic aneurysms.

Here's Dr. Vinay Badhwar from WVU Heart & Vascular Institute:

That said, I thought you might like to see a few pictures from this amazing shoot!
