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 a novel device for intraoperative evaluation of aortic valve repair procedures, a study concluding that type A aortic dissection is more aggressive in women, and a machine learning-based prediction of mitral regurgitation recurrence in mitral valve repair patients.

He also talks about CTSNet’s most popular cardiac, congenital, and thoracic surgical videos from 2023, as well as the editors’ top content from the year. After discussing upcoming events in CT surgery, Joel closes with a shoutout to Dr. Diego Gonzalez Rivas for his innovative and tireless work in robotic thoracic surgery.
