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 newest sermons from First Presbyterian Church on SermonAudio.
Motives matter.For example, some people pursued Christ with good, positive intentions.But others (like Judas Iscariot) had selfish or wicked motives.What are your own motives in coming to Christ?Is it for His glory and interests, or for yours?That will be the focus of today's study in John 12.
He let him die.That's what the people were thinking.Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, and rather than go to him, He let him die.But that's not what happened, was it?Instead, Jesus allowed a difficult situation in order to bring about a miraculous outcome. We will consider that outcome in today's study of John 11.Questions That We'll Answer:A) Why did Jesus wait so long to go to Lazarus?B) Where is Jesus when His people need Him?C) How does God bring good out of evil?website: www.fpcgulfport.org/sermons…
What makes a 'good' shepherd?He doesn't run when the wolves come.In John 10, Jesus faced all sorts of 'wolves.' From Pharisees, to Romans, to the Devil himself, Jesus was always in grave danger.But so were His sheep!And so, instead of running, Jesus faced the evils of this world on their behalf. Then, He drank down the cup of God's wrath on Calvary. Truly, there has never been a Shepherd like Jesus of Nazareth - the One who gave His life to save His flock.Questions That We'll Answer:A) What two jobs do shepherds have?B) Why did Jesus refer to 'sheep not of this fold?'C) What are the implications of being a 'sheep?'website: www.fpcgulfport.org/sermons…
She was guilty. No doubt about it.As the woman stood before Jesus, no one defended her actions - not even her. She was guilty.So what would Jesus do?That's what they all wondered.The Pharisees had set this whole encounter up to trap Jesus. How would He deal with her sin and her guilt? Would He condemn her and risk the wrath of Rome? Would He free her and reject the law's demands? What would He do?They were not ready for His answer.Questions That We'll Answer:A) What is the 'divine dilemma?'B) What was the trap set in John 8?C) How can a holy God forgive sinners?website: www.fpcgulfport.org…
Some things are hard to believe. Others are hard to accept.At the start of John 6, thousands pursued Jesus. By the end, few remained.What happened to the rest?The short answer: they heard Jesus talk, and they didn't like what He said. They could not accept His difficult teachings, and so they left.Questions That We'll Answer:A) What drew people to Jesus initially?B) What caused His disciples to remain?C) What does this say about us?website: www.fpcgulfport.org…
It was late. The people were hungry.Thousands had followed Jesus out of desperation. They were sick, hurting, and now starving. And as Jesus looked out at the crowds, He had compassion.In today's study, we'll see how He responded.Questions That We'll Answer:A) Why did the people follow Jesus?B) Why didn't they bring food?C) What sign did Jesus perform, and why?website: www.fpcgulfport.org…
"Do you want to be made well?"That was Christ's question of the sick man. It is also Christ's question of you. Do you want to be made well? And what do you want to be made well from?This will be the focus of today's sermon from John 5.Questions That We'll Answer:A) What was Christ's objective?B) Why did He enter the 'Sheep Gate?'C) Who did He seek out, and why?Website: www.fpcgulfport.org…
Surprising. Shocking. Scandalous.Jews and Samaritans were NOT supposed to interact. Their mutual hatred went back generations. And yet, here Jesus was, not only talking with this woman in John 4 - but asking her for water. What was this encounter all about?Questions That We'll Answer:A) What was the history of the Samaritans? Who were they?B) What had the woman done to be ostracized by her own people?C) What did Jesus tell the woman - and why was it so encouraging?Website: www.fpcgulfport.org…
To Nicodemus, it seemed like crazy talk.But to Jesus, this was serious business. If God's people are to be saved, we must first be 'born again.' So what does that term mean? And how does it happen? In today's study, we'll dive into the critical topic of regeneration.Questions That We'll Answer:A) Who was Nicodemus, and why did he go to Jesus?B) Why did Jesus say Nicodemus must be 'born again?'C) What are the implications for the rest of us?…
It wasn't just a miracle - it was a sign.In John 2, Jesus attended a wedding. And at this wedding He performed His first recorded miracle (turning water into wine). So, what was this miracle really about? As we'll see, it pointed forward to the cross - even if no one knew it at the time.Questions That We'll Answer:A) Why did Jesus tell Mary that His 'hour had not come?'B) In what way(s) did this miracle point forward to Calvary?C) How is John 2 a 'bookend' with John 19?…
John the Baptist had one job.John came to prepare people to meet Jesus. Specifically, he would 'make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah had foretold. But the people wouldn't listen. John would be a voice crying in the wilderness. He would be misunderstood, and eventually killed. And the same would happen to the Messiah.Questions That We'll Answer:A) Why was John 'baptizing' people? What kind of baptism was this?B) Why did John say 'behold the Lamb' when he saw Jesus approach?C) What's the difference between 'appeasement' and 'atonement?'Web: www.fpcgulfport.org…
Christianity: rooted in history, backed by eyewitnesses.In John 1, the author skips the greetings and goes straight to the heart of the matter: he and others saw, heard, and observed the Messiah. "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us," he declared.In today's study, we'll consider the historical facts that support our faith.Questions That We'll Answer:A) Why did John refer to Jesus as 'the Word?'B) In what way is Jesus also 'the light' that came into the world?C) What are the implications of Christ's incarnation to you and I?website: www.fpcgulfport.org…
Jericho had massive walls. It didn't matter.There are no walls that can deter God's Wrath. And there is no army that can stop those who serve Him. In Joshua 6, we will study both points in one of the most famous (and faith-building) passages in Scripture.Questions That We'll Answer:A) How big was Jericho's outer wall? Did it have an inner wall as well?B) What tool or weapon was used to bring the walls down?C) What can we learn from the battle at Jericho that applies to us?web: www.fpcgulfport.org…
No. Other. Name.As he felt the Sanhedrin's angry gaze, Peter stood firm. There's no other name, there's no other door, there's no other way by which fallen sinners can be reconciled to God. Not two. Not ten. Just one, Peter declared. Jesus Christ is the singular means of salvation.Questions That We'll Answer:A) What are the implications of this statement to other religions?B) What were the implications to Peter's original audience?C) What sort of opposition does such an exclusive claim create?web: www.fpcgulfport.org…
