Article Summary

Miami Valves 2024 welcomed renowned leaders in cardiovascular research and clinical care to Miami for a three-day conference organized by the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
The conference featured more than 90 presentations and 60 abstracts, a three-day main program on advances in structural heart disease and symposiums on advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and nursing care.
In a presentation, Dr. Carlos Alfonso said computer simulations and artificial intelligence have the potential to improve patient cardiovascular outcomes and decrease overall health care costs.

Renowned leaders in cardiovascular research and clinical care shared their knowledge and experiences at Miami Valves 2024, the 10^th annual international structural cardiology conference hosted by the International Medicine Institute of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

“Interventional and structural cardiologists are doing miraculous things to treat a variety of diseases,” said Miami Valves Director Eduardo de Marchena, M.D., professor of cardiovascular medicine and associate dean for international medicine at the Miller School. “It’s exciting to get leaders in their fields who share and discuss their research on what can be done to treat complex cases, while always thinking about what comes next.”

International Array of Cardiology Experts

More than 380 professionals from the U.S., Canada, Latin America and Europe attended Miami Valves 2024. The conference was endorsed by the Latin American Society of Interventional Cardiology (SOLACI) and supported by a dozen exhibitors and several unrestricted educational grants, including one from UHealth—University of Miami Health System.

Yiannis S. Chatzizisis, M.D., Ph.D., says Miami Valves invites physicians and researchers to discuss the latest and most-innovative therapies in structural heart and coronary artery disease.

“This is an amazing conference,” said Yiannis S. Chatzizisis, M.D., Ph.D., professor and chief of cardiovascular medicine at the Miller School. “This is a unique opportunity for professionals to see the latest and most-innovative therapies and devices in structural heart and coronary artery disease to help us achieve better outcomes for our patients. It’s also a great teaching opportunity, as our fellows learn how to tackle challenging cases while expanding their networks.”

The conference featured:

More than 90 presentations and 60 abstracts
A three-day main program on advances in structural heart disease
Symposiums on advances in percutaneous coronary intervention and nursing care
Workshops on complex electrophysiology cardiac imaging and advanced heart failure
Hands-on workshops on pulmonary embolism catheter care
How-to training on several devices

“As a cardiac surgeon, I want to understand the advances in interventional and imaging cardiology,” said Joseph Lamelas, M.D., professor and chief of cardiothoracic surgery at the Miller School. “Our patients benefit from a collaborative approach that incorporates advances in our fields.”

Joseph Lamelas, M.D., professor and chief of cardiothoracic surgery at the Miller School, speaking at Miami Valves 2024 — *Joseph Lamelas, M.D., says events like Miami Valves push the field forward, to the benefit of patients.*

John Lasala, M.D., Ph.D., a renowned interventional cardiology and structural heart disease specialist at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, was honored with the 2024 Miami Valves Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his research, clinical and teaching accomplishments. He gave a presentation on his 34-year career, “From Utility Baseball Player to Structural Interventionalist: A Life’s Journey,” adding that he still enjoys sports and is a consultant to the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Rams.

“Miami Valves is a great way to catch up on what’s happening with valvular disease,” he added. “It’s large enough to get the latest information yet small enough that you can talk individually with other professionals.”

Advances in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

Dr. de Marchena kicked off Miami Valves 2024 with a recap of recent advancements in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as well as other interventional procedures.

“We have seen an explosion in TAVR, which now accounts for 62% of all aortic valve replacement procedures and is being performed in over 800 U.S. centers,” he said. “Cerebral protection devices may reduce the risk of stroke, and we use them in about 60% of cases here, far more than the national average.”

Miami Valves Director Eduardo de Marchena, M.D., professor of cardiovascular medicine and associate dean for international medicine at the Miller School, speaking from a podium at the conference — *Dr. de Marchena opened the conference by discussing advances in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).*

Other advances include the incorporation of tissue technology to block calcium buildups as well as new aortic and mitral valves.

“Tricuspid was once the forgotten valve but now is being approached with many transcatheter technologies, and important trials are underway,” said Dr. de Marchena. “On February 2, during our meeting, the first transcatheter valve for the tricuspid valve was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We are hoping for many more approvals in the coming years.”

Eberhard Grube, M.D., from University Hospital Bonn, Germany, said there will be accelerated innovation of TAVR platforms and accessory devices, including aortic valve remodeling technology. He added that clinicians may need to treat moderate aortic stenosis before damage occurs to other areas of the heart.

“For lifetime management of aortic disease, the patient needs to be part of the discussion,” Dr. Grube said. “Our goal is to achieve the promise of one valve replacement for life.”

Additional highlights from the conference included:

Saibal Kar, M.D., director of structural heart disease interventions and clinical research at Los Robles Health System, giving a video lecture on advances in transcatheter edge-to-edge repair devices
Nicolas Van Mieghem, M.D., Ph.D. director of interventional cardiology, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, talking about “TAVR and the Young,” referring to patients younger than 75. “TAVR should be the first choice for these aortic stenosis patients, who tend to be low risk,” he said. “This is the next frontier of TAVR and it’s very exciting.”
Presenters from Latin America including Fábio de Brito, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., from University of São Paulo Medical School in Brazil, relaying the case of a 77-year-old woman who was treated with an investigational valve for severe aortic stenosis before participating in a SOLACI discussion on the “Best Cases from the Americas.”

Treating Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC)

Renu Virmani, M.D., president of the CVPath Institute, gave a presentation on mitral annular calcification, noting that the incidence was greater in women than men.

“MAC goes hand-in-hand with renal disease, and it is not an easy condition to treat surgically,” she said.

Following her talk, Dr. Lamelas spoke on surgical approaches to MAC, which has been identified in two, 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummies. He outlined options for repairing or replacing the mitral valve in the presence of significant invasion of calcium.

“Imaging is very important to determine the extent of calcium involvement,” he said. “Current recommendations call for these patients to be treated by surgeons who perform more than 50 mitral valve cases a year. We are proud that our university is one of the 22 mitral valve repair reference centers in the United States.”

Cardiovascular Medicine Symposiums, Workshops and Sessions

Carlos E. Alfonso, M.D., associate professor of cardiovascular medicine and medical director of the Miller School’s Advanced PCI and CTO Program, moderated the PCI symposium and discussed highly specialized techniques to treat complex coronary CTO (chronic total occlusion).

“We had a great session with experts discussing complex PCI and CTO procedures,” Dr. Alfonso said. “During the complete PCI symposium, we covered the spectrum of coronary disease, discussing a variety of topics including strategies and emerging technology for treatment of acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock, as well as non-occlusive coronary disease.”

In his presentation and workshop on optimizing coronary bifurcation disease interventions, Dr. Chatzizisis said optimal outcomes involve careful imaging of the patient’s anatomy, stent design and stent techniques.

“Computer simulations and artificial intelligence have the potential to help us plan our procedures, improve outcomes and lower overall health care costs,” he said. “They can also help our trainees master their interventional skills.”

Michael Dyal, M.D., Miller School assistant professor of medicine, discussed how intravascular ultrasound imaging can help guide PCI interventions, and Nikolas Spilias, M.D., Miller School assistant professor of interventional cardiology, spoke about when and why complete coronary revascularization should be performed.

In a separate session, Drs. Chatzizisis and Spilias were joined by Maria Delgado-Lelievre, M.D., founder and director of the Comprehensive Hypertension Center, in a discussion of new renal denervation interventions that decrease hypertension by ablating the arterial nerves near the kidneys.

“This is a safe procedure with an ‘always on’ effect on lowering blood pressure,” said Dr. Spilias.

Heart Failure and Electrophysiology

Assistive devices are helping patients with heart failure when medical therapy isn’t enough, according to Luanda Grazette, M.D., associate professor of clinical medicine at the Miller School and director of the UHealth Advanced Heart Failure Program. She moderated a Thursday workshop on heart failure.

Luanda Grazette, M.D., associate professor of clinical medicine at the Miller School and director of the UHealth Advanced Heart Failure Program, speaking at Miami Valves 2024 — *Luanda Grazette, M.D., moderated a panel on heart failure and emphasized the necessity of assistive devices.*

“We have come a long way with medications in three decades, adding years of life to older patients with heart failure,” she said. “Even though drugs do a great job in improving survival, they can hit a ceiling, where assistive devices are needed.”

On Friday, Jeffrey Goldberger, M.D., professor of medicine, moderated a workshop on cardiac electrophysiology with Raul D. Mitrani, M.D., professor of clinical medicine and director of clinical cardiac electrophysiology; Litsa Lambrakos, M.D., assistant professor of medicine and Alex Velasquez, M.D., assistant professor of medicine, all from the Miller School.

Dr. Mitrani said the workshop highlighted important advancements in the field of cardiac electrophysiology.

“Participants learned about new extravascular defibrillators and the advantages of physiologic pacing,” he said. “The importance of risk-factor modification, including research from UHealth, was emphasized.”

“In keeping with the theme of the conference, the EP symposium focused on the novel approaches to atrial fibrillation ablation and pacemaker/defibrillator device implantation,” added Dr. Goldberger.

He presented leading-edge Miller School research showing how stagnant catheter ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation can be dramatically impacted by the new paradigm of adjunctive medical therapy with GLP-1 agonists, a popular novel drug therapy approved for diabetes and weight loss.

Nursing and New Cardiovascular Innovations Symposiums

Stephanie Moss, D.N.P., A.P.R.N., UHealth executive director, clinical operations, and Shay Lamelas, A.P.R.N., UHealth nurse practitioner, moderated the Nursing Symposium on Saturday.

“When treating heart diseases, post-operative care is essential for good outcomes,” said Lamelas. “Our nursing team supports surgical and interventional treatments, so patients can continue to survive and thrive.”

Moss, who spoke on technological advances in heart failure, said panelists and attendees were highly engaged during the workshop.

“There was also a strong effort into fostering inclusivity and diversity at the conference, and the opportunity to network was invaluable,” she added.

On the last day of the conference, Dr. de Marchena led a morning symposium on new investigational devices for the treatment of valvular and coronary disease. The three-hour session featured 16 presentations on devices being studied from all over the world, including two developed by Miller School cardiology faculty.

Finally, a panel heard oral presentations and recognized the conference’s abstracts. The 25 best abstracts will be published in the journal, US Cardiology Review.

How To Watch: No. 8 Miami’s Final Regular Season Game at Syracuse

It’s do-or-die now for The Miami Hurricanes. Win and they are headed to Charlotte to face the SMU Mustangs for the Chance at hold the ACC Title for the first time since joining the conference in 2004.

First, they have to defeat one of the best offenses in the Atlantic Coast Conference in the Syracuse Orange led by Kyle McCord who is also on a mission of his own.

The Hurricanes have the No. 1 offense in the country but with a questionable defense, it could be hard to say what makes of the Canes and their championship asperation. One step at a time for the Hurricanes however as they look to get some players back for the final game of the season in the likes of Elijah Alston and Damari Brown.

The the additon of those two players on the defensive side of the ball, the Hurricanes could push pass the Orange and the offense that stands in their way. They will try to do it led by Heisman hopeful quarterback Cam Ward and his gunslinging arm and litany of weapons surrounding him.

Date: November 30

Time: 3:30 ET

TV: ESPN

Location: JMA Wireless Dome

Series: The Hurricanes lead the series 16-7 against the Orange.

Last Matchup: The Hurricanes dominated on defense in a 27-19 victory where Syracuse QB Eric Dungey threw four interceptions. Canes QB Malik Rosier threw for 344 yards and two TDs.

Dolphins-Patriots 2024 Week 12 Five Biggest Storylines

Dolphins-Patriots 2024 Week 12 Five Biggest Storylines

The Miami Dolphins will look to move their record to 5-6 when they face the New England Patriots at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.

The Dolphins are coming consecutive victories against the Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders. The Patriots are 3-8 and coming off a Week 11 home loss against the Rams.

The Dolphins are looking for a second consecutive season sweep of the Patriots after winning at Gillette Stadium, 15-10, in Week 5.

Here are the five biggest storylines for this year’s Week 12 matchup.

The biggest difference in this matchup from Week 5 is at quarterback where Tua Tagovailoa and Drake Maye have replaced Tyler “Snoop” Huntley and Jacoby Brissett. The Dolphins offense has been humming with Tagovailoa back in the lineup, and a big reason is the quarterback is playing the best football of his career. There’s no reason to think that run can’t continue against the Patriots.

The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, Maye was put into the starting lineup the week after the Dolphins played at Gillette Stadium, and he has shown enough to have everybody in Patriots land excited about the future. While they got only two sacks, the Dolphins harassed Brissett throughout the Week 5 game, but now Maye has the mobility to turns those pressure into positive gains. At the very least, this should be a tougher matchup for the Dolphins defense.

The Dolphins were able to pull out a victory in that Week 5 game despite getting a late scare, but also because their running game kept producing. It hasn’t been great the past two weeks, but fullback Alec Ingold will be back in the lineup after sitting out with a calf injury and that could make a difference and bring back another performance like we saw in Week 5.

In the Patriots offense, the player to watch (besides Maye, obviously) is tight end Hunter Henry, particularly in light of the problems the Dolphins had with Brock Bowers last Sunday. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver has promised to do whatever it takes to keep Henry in check, and that certainly could include putting Jalen Ramsey on him if needed.

One reason the Dolphins almost lost the Week 5 matchup despite keeping the Patriots offense in check was a brutal performance by the special teams that included a blocked punt, missed field goal and botched snap on another field goal attempt. That they were able to survive those mistakes and still win was pretty remarkable, and the Dolphins shouldn’t tempt fate again.
