On this episode of Advances in Care , host Erin Welsh and Dr. Craig Smith, Chair of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia discuss the highlights of Dr. Smith’s 40+ year career as a cardiac surgeon and how the culture of Columbia has been a catalyst for innovation in cardiac care. Dr. Smith describes the excitement of helping to pioneer the institution’s heart transplant program in the 1980s, when it was just one of only three hospitals in the country practicing heart transplantation. Dr. Smith also explains how a unique collaboration with Columbia’s cardiology team led to the first of several groundbreaking trials, called PARTNER (Placement of AoRTic TraNscatheteR Valve), which paved the way for a monumental treatment for aortic stenosis — the most common heart valve disease that is lethal if left untreated. During the trial, Dr. Smith worked closely with Dr. Martin B. Leon, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Chief Innovation Officer and the Director of the Cardiovascular Data Science Center for the Division of Cardiology. Their findings elevated TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, to eventually become the gold-standard for aortic stenosis patients at all levels of illness severity and surgical risk. Today, an experienced team of specialists at Columbia treat TAVR patients with a combination of advancements including advanced replacement valve materials, three-dimensional and ECG imaging, and a personalized approach to cardiac care. Finally, Dr. Smith shares his thoughts on new frontiers of cardiac surgery, like the challenge of repairing the mitral and tricuspid valves, and the promising application of robotic surgery for complex, high-risk operations. He reflects on life after he retires from operating, and shares his observations of how NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia have evolved in the decades since he began his residency.

Hace unos años cometí un error, lo admito. Claro que entonces no pensaba que estaba equivocado, por poco que me sirva de consuelo. Hoy voy a necesitar ese consuelo. Hoy mi secreto va a dejar de serlo para convertirse en bocadillo de las bocas de esta ciudad podrida que se alimenta, voraz, de las desgracias ajenas.

Ella me dijo que todo iba a estar bien. No hace tanto la conozco, pero confío, le creo. Es su olor que me intoxica, que me despoja de la lógica de decidir, que me hipnotiza. Siempre quiero más. Sus ojos grises me atraviesan. Llevo varias semanas insistiendo con esto, ella pone excusas.

Subo los escalones que llevan a la entrada. Saco mi teléfono y prendo la linterna. Ilumino un pedacito de suelo y me animo. Doy un paso adentro y vuelvo a llamar a Cristian. Esta vez el grito sale y siento en mi cuerpo como el sonido de mi voz recorre cada rincón de la casa y el portazo a mi espalda me sacude las entrañas.

Llevo días aquí, quizás semanas. La tela de la bolsa que me cubre la cabeza me sofoca. Cada aliento es una ola de calor que se condensa. Producción general: @2changoslabs Edición de audio: @vacainfame Arte de portada: @pin.tu.rita Relato original: @ariel.matzkin Support the show
