Newswise — NEW York, NY (MAY 2, 2018) David H. Adams, MD, the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Professor and Chair of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Cardiac Surgeon-in-Chief of the Mount Sinai Health System, will be named President of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) at its 98th annual meeting on Saturday, April 28, in San Diego. “Dr. Adams is an internationally recognized leader in the field of heart valve surgery and mitral valve reconstruction, and we are proud that his achievements have been acknowledged by this prominent organization. As President, Dr. Adams will make significant contributions to the care and treatment of cardiothoracic disease throughout the world,” said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Mount Sinai Health System. “I am very proud of Dr. Adams, his significant contributions to the field, and his strong commitment to improving the field of cardiothoracic surgery at Mount Sinai and around the globe,” said Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, Director of Mount Sinai Heart and Physician-in-Chief of The Mount Sinai Hospital, who serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). “I have worked closely with Dr. Adams for many years and have always been impressed with his unwavering devotion to the highest level of patient care.” The AATS is an international organization of more than 1,300 of the world's foremost cardiothoracic surgeons representing 41 countries. Founded in 1917, the Association is committed to science, education, and research, as demonstrated by its Annual Meeting and its four official journals, the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, and the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual. As the Program Director of The Mount Sinai Hospital's Mitral Valve Repair Reference Center, Dr. Adams has set national benchmarks, with degenerative mitral valve repair rates of greater than 99 percent, while running one of the largest programs in the United States with a team that now performs more than 400 mitral valve operations per year. Dr. Adams is also President of the Mitral Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting best practice 1/3 standards in mitral valve disease, and has co-authored, with Alain Carpentier, MD, PhD, the internationally acclaimed and widest-selling valve textbook, Carpentier's Reconstructive Valve Surgery. Dr. Adams is also the co-inventor of two mitral valve annuloplasty repair rings (the Carpentier- McCarthy-Adams IMR ETlogix Annuloplasty Ring and the Carpentier-Edwards Physio II Annuloplasty Ring), and is also the inventor of the Medtronic Tri-Ad Adams Tricuspid Annuloplasty Ring. He is a co-director of the annual American College of Cardiology/American Association for Thoracic Surgery Heart Valve Summit, and the Program Director of the biennial AATS Mitral Conclave, the largest international meeting in the world focused on mitral valve disease. An acclaimed speaker and educator, Dr. Adams has given more than 350 invited global lectures. His dedication to teaching surgery throughout the world is well known and he has performed surgery on more than 200 patients in China, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Poland, Thailand, and Vietnam. Dr. Adams’ major research interests include mitral valve repair outcomes, strategies in complex mitral valve repair, and transcatheter valve replacement. Past research honors include the Alton Ochsner Research Scholarship from the AATS and the Paul Dudley White Research Fellowship from the American Heart Association. He has also received honorary Professorships from Capital University in Beijing and Keio University in Tokyo. He has held his current position as Professor and Chair at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai since 2002.

  • Nature Medicine Essay
    LASKER CLINICAL MEDICAL RESEARCH AWARD COMMENTARY The surprising rise of nonthrombogenic valvular surgery Alain Carpentier Surgery has always been regarded as an art rather than a science—the art of curing dis- eases by manipulating instruments with one’s hands. In the past, progress resulted from the development of new ways of cutting, excising, resealing and suturing. Nowadays, this is no longer the case. My own specialty—cardiac surgery—did not exist 60 years ago. Its spectacular devel- opment would not have been possible with- out the contribution of basic sciences and engineering. Surgeons who participated in its development had to master these sciences. A visit to a cardiac surgery operating room may give an idea of the influence of these dis- ciplines. In a 50-square-meter room, a patient is lying on the operating table with his chest open and his beating heart exposed to the dazzling light of three “suns of crystal”, as Figure 1 First (homemade) glutaraldehyde-treated pig valve implanted in human.

On the 3rd December 2017 it will be the 50th anniversary of the world’s first human to human heart transplant performed by Christiaan Barnard and his team in our Department at Groote Schuur Hospital and the University of Cape Town. This was an iconic world event which captured the attention of the public and world media like no other medical advance before it,and continues to be the world’s most publicised medical event of all time. The only other comparable world iconic event of that era, and which similarly caught the attention of the world, was the Apollo landing on the moon 18 months later in July 1969. Apart from our focus on celebrating medical advances, we wish to broaden our scope to include other innovative and courageous developments, which have similarly advanced the scope and horizons of modern human endeavour. We also wish to focus on how the great advances in medicine which were pioneered, developed and commercialized by the various pharmaceutical and medical device companies, can be expanded to reach the underprivileged areas of the world where there is such a burden of cardiovascular disease. Presently the large expense of most of these recent developments preclude their widespread use (or penetration) in the developing economies of the world We would like to thank some of the leading Cardiovascular Device- and Pharmaceutical companies whose CEO’s or senior staff will be joining us in the debate around how modern cardiovascular interventions can be provided to the large areas of the world where there is at present such a dearth of cardiovascular healthcare.

  • N Tim Institut Du Coeur: Success of a Congenital Heart Disease Center in a Developing Country
    Annals of Global Health VOL. 82, NO. 4, 2016 ª 2016 Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. ISSN 2214-9996/$36.00 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.aogh.2016.08.002 VIEWPOINT Viện Tim Institut du Coeur: Success of a Congenital Heart Disease Center in a Developing Country Paul S. Lajos, MD, Alain F. Carpentier, MD, PhD New York, NY; Paris, France Abstract OBJECTIVE The goal of the Viện Tim Institute du Coeur is to provide high quality cardiac surgical care to the Vietnamese population with 25% of care allocated to the indigent. This article discusses the history; functional and financial implementation of creating a long-term fully sustainable adult and pediatric cardiac surgery center in Southeast Asia in a developing country. METHODS The Institut du Coeur in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is a fully functional and financially solvent cardiac surgery center that was formed 28 years ago. It was borne from the Alain Carpentier Foundation which oversees its activity and the Centre Médical International which is an outpatient clinic in Ho Chi Minh City and continues to financially support and oversee the development and future of the Institute. This article details many of the key components to the development of this sustainable pro- gram and its evolution. RESULTS Since 1996, over 25,000 patients with complicated adult and congenital cardiac disease have been treated at the infirmary with support from the Alain Carpentier Foundation since it was established in 1992. The hospital has also performed surgery and treatment to poor patients across Vietnam with over 6,700 impoverished patients having had free operations with an estimated cost of VND230 billion (US$10.2 million).
