This week on CTSNet’s flagship podcast, Editor in Chief Joel Dunning discusses presentations from the SCTS annual meeting on the future of aortic valve replacement surgery and the continued debate among surgeons about the benefits of TAVR versus those of SAVR.

In addition, Joel discusses a review of heart valve surgery in resource limited settings, long term outcomes of heart transplantation in adults with congenital heart disease, and intervention for symptomatic moderate aortic stenosis.

He also talks about an interview and surgical video with Dr. Lars Svensson, how to position the heart in off-pump CABG, and a lobectomy for a hydatid cyst using uniportal VATS. Before saying goodbye, he discusses upcoming events in CT surgery.
