The Beat with Joel Dunning Ep. 12

In this episode of 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.

Joel discusses minithoracotomy versus sternotomy for mitral valve repair, an AATS consensus on management of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, and wedge resection versus lobectomy for lung cancer with lymph node disease.

He also talks about a case of Ravitch and mitral valve repair for a patient with Marfan syndrome, SVC cannula insertion and removal technique, and a CTSNet exclusive interview with Loretta Erhunmwunsee about her cross-cultural work in thoracic surgery. After discussing upcoming events in the CT surgery world, he closes with a shoutout to Tom Varghese and David Cooke for their podcast, Same Surgeon, Different Light.
