OK - I'm brain dead so I'm not going to transcribe Dr. Shores' notes (which are longer than Dr. Dewey's) until later this weekend. But I'm starting this thread so that I have a placeholder and can come back and edit so that the three AVMA speaker threads are adjacent on this forum.
I will say that I felt more favorable toward Dr. Shores' procedure; although keep in mind that I have no personal experience with CM/SM nor have I studied the subject in depth (unlike my experience and many years of study of endocardiosis/acquired chronic valvular disease). I agree with many of Karlin's observations about the pros/cons of each approach that she posted in some recent threads here. Plus just looking at those damn screws gave me a very visceral reaction.
Goodnight to all.
