They discuss the preclinical work and the history behind the development of this innovative device. Dr. Shafii also showcases the device and explains its functionality in detail. They also highlight the first patient who received the BiVACOR total artificial heart implantation and provide insights into learning the nuances of this operation. Additionally, they explore the critical aspects of explanting the device and the importance of understanding how to explant the heart.

Joel also highlights recent JANS articles on the external validation of SYNTAX score II in a real-world cohort undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, successful extracorporeal membrane oxygenation bridge to lung transplant with a patient transported from Hawaii to Nashville, Tennessee, USA, robotic-assisted left S3 segmentectomy, and minimally invasive total arterial bypass grafting via left minithoracotomy in obese patients.
In addition, Joel explores direct cannulation for minimally invasive ASD closure, an instructional video for residents on the basics of mitral valve surgery, and how to construct an autologous pericardial mitral valve for infants and small children.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
