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 new findings on treatment for mesothelioma, a study on quality of life after acute type B aortic dissection, and a new real-time blood monitor for high-risk surgeries.

He also talks about a quick technique for aortic hemiarch replacement, a video on the subannular Bentall technique, and an alternative technique to mimic robotic thoracic surgery using VATS. After discussing upcoming events in the CT surgery world, he closes with a shoutout to the late Dr. David Sugarbaker, a pioneer in mesothelioma surgery.
