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.

The Grand Tour was an essential part of education during the period especially the 17th and 18th centuries when young men and women from Ireland, Great Britain and Northern Europe travelled southwards to Rome, home of the empire to which it gave its name, the Caput Mundi. The “coming of age” journey introduced the young voyagers to new languages, food and customs as well as bringing them face to face with the glorious remnants of the Classical world. Dr Johnson once said ‘The grand object of travelling is to see the shores of the Mediterranean’. Join Michael Collins and Lynda Mulvin in their new podcast, The Grand Tourists , as they explore the old routes and search the cities through which the young visitors passed. Paris, Lyons, Zurich, Turin, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Siena, Rome, Naples, Palermo, Loretto, Ravenna and Venice are just a few of the main cities through which the early tourists passed. The fortnightly podcast, lasting approximately 15 minutes, brings the listener behind the scenes to find hidden gems and artistic treasures.
