The Beat is back! In this revamped version of CTSNet’s flagship podcast, our new editor in chief, Joel Dunning, runs through the latest, most popular content on ctsnet.org—the largest online community of CT surgeons and source of CT surgery information—and breaking cardiothoracic surgery news and research from around the world.

In this episode, Joel addresses the recently released US physician’s compensation report, detecting anastomotic leaks after esophagectomy, and SynCardia total artificial heart outcomes.

He also talks about Penelope Adinku’s featured profile interview, and videos demonstrating a reoperative aortic root and cabrol procedure and a bronchopleural fistula closure. After discussing upcoming events in the CT surgery world, Joel closes with a shoutout to outgoing CTSNet Editor in Chief Mark Ferguson.
