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 survival after heart transplant in adult congenital patients, cardiac surgery in variable-resource contexts, and the emerging role of balloon pulmonary angioplasty in pulmonary disease.

He also talks about mitral valve-in-valve reconstruction of prosthetic valve leaflets, transposition of the anterior mitral leaflet as a patch, and truncus arteriosis repair. After discussing upcoming events in the CT surgery world, he closes with a shoutout to EACTS President Patrick Perier.
