Patient Skip Vichness, 71, had a quick recovery after #TECAB, an advanced heart procedure. “We are proud and excited to have successfully performed this advanced coronary procedure at Mount Sinai Morningside,” says Dr. John Puskas. "We can now offer this less painful procedure with easier recovery for patients with severe coronary heart disease.”
Skip says he owes a debt of gratitude to the entire Mount Sinai team. “They treated me so well; I do not take their work for granted.” He adds, “Dr. Puskas is an amazing human being—caring, gentle, and passionate about his patients.” Skip is now very happy to be giving back: There are few surgeons who are capable of performing the endoscopic robotic technique, so Skip is sponsoring two fellows who will work with Dr. Puskas to learn it: https://fal.cn/3aB8f #PatientStory

A new variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes #COVID19, appeared in Great Britain in greater frequency in December and has been reported in New York State. The new variant appears to spread more rapidly than older ones and has a distinct set of genetic changes, or mutations.
