In CTSNet’s flagship podcast, 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 ascending thoracic aorta outcomes, using AI to predict TAVR complications, and quality of life after esophagectomy.

He also talks about robotic assisted mitral valve repair, a successful closure of an aortic pseudoaneurysm, and robotic assisted paraesophageal hernia repair. After discussing upcoming events in the CT surgery world, Joel closes with a shoutout to Marcel Dahan for the twentieth anniversary of the Epithor database.
