This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Donald Nuss about the NUSS procedure at the 24th Annual Congress: Chest Wall International Group and Phoenix Advanced Pectus Course 2024. They discussed how this procedure was created, how it has evolved, and bar stabilization. They also discuss treatments for pectus excavatum and the Ravitch procedure. 

Joel also reviews recent JANS articles on real-world outcomes of lobectomy, segmentectomy and wedge resection for the treatment of stage C-IA lung carcinoma, branched stented anastomosis frozen elephant trunk repair, selection for transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement and mid-term survival, and treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy.

In addition, Joel explores the Chrysalis technique, updates on Y-incision aortic annular enlargement, and redo mitral valve repair and left ventricular myectomy. Before closing, he shares upcoming events in CT surgery.
