This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning speaks with CTSNet JANS Editor Dr. Mateo Marin-Cuartas, a cardiac surgeon in the University Department of Cardiac Surgery at the Leipzig Heart Center, Germany, about surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) vs transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

46:44 Upcoming Events

47:52 Closing

They discuss SAVR and TAVR guidelines, the suitability of SAVR vs TAVR for patients aged 65-75, and mechanical heart valves. They also explore surgery after TAVR, TAVR after TAVR, and the future of addressing aortic valve stenosis.  

Joel also highlights recent JANS articles on the safety and feasibility of novel single-port robotic-assisted lobectomy/segmentectomy for lung cancer, touching (proximity) as a companion diagnostic test, long-term outcomes after removal of rib stabilization hardware in patients with blunt chest trauma, and advancing the needle on the management of resectable EGFR-positive NSCLC.   

In addition, Joel explores an on-pump beating heart mitral valve repair through right anterior minithoracotomy, post-infarction myocardial rupture treated with surgical repair and graded mechanical support, and a head-first graft technique in aortic arch replacement. Before closing, Joel highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.
