In recognition of #AmericanHeartMonth, here’s a #STS2026 late-breaking study featuring research led by Dr. Thomas Schwann that showed comparable long-term survival between two leading multi-arterial CABG strategies (BITA vs. SITA+RA), with key differences by patient age. https://ow.ly/OeTo50YcZuI

Latest STS Compensation Data Show Pay Is Up but Still Lags for Female Surgeons Transparency is needed to improve equity, though it can be awkward to talk about salary, says Thomas MacGillivray.

A member compensation survey conducted by STS revealed pay increases that shrink previously identified gender disparities but still fall short for female surgeons. There are continued efforts for transparency and improvements for better equity. www.tctmd.com/news/latest-...

Multiarterial CABG Improves Survival Regardless of Strategy The study supports “more is more” when it comes to arterial conduits until additional RCT data arrive, researcher says.

Patients with multivessel CAD receiving CABG surgery have better survival outcomes with either bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting or single internal thoracic artery plus radial artery grafting compared with single arterial grafts, based on study data. www.tctmd.com/news/multiar...
