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.

We are your fantasy hosts three - Jamie, Cassidy, and Jack - and we take a philosophical and humorous approach to discussing fantasy movies and other media. We are all lifelong scholars, who love to analyze the media we consume, but can't help joking around as well, because we are also silly people at heart. On Swords & Satire we review both classic and modern fantasy movies and media, and take an in depth look at the themes, scenes and lore within each one. We highlight the epic moments and features of each film, and treat them with the respect they deserve, taking each one as seriously as a piece of art. We also release mini episodes every other week, in which we act out a humorous skit about the movie we previously discussed. Sometimes we just need that extra avenue to get out our creative ideas. And sometimes we even discuss fantasy games or novels! Listen in wherever you get your podcasts to hear our witticisms, nerdy banter, and love for all things fantasy!
