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 the first in-man robotic lung transplantation, new guidelines for GGO lung tumor identification and resection presented at the EACTS annual meeting, and outcomes of treatment for infective endocarditis following TPVR.

He also talks about a step-by-step video demonstrating a Ross procedure, a video demonstrating excision of fractured costal bridging cartilage, and pulmonary artery augmentation and pulmonary valve replacement after arterial switch operation. After discussing upcoming events in the CT surgery world, he closes with a shoutout to Professor John Chambers, President of the British Heart Valve Society.
