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 VA ECMO case study, a consensus statement from EACTS and EAPC on frailty assessment, and a study on diversity, equity, and inclusion for women in cardiothoracic surgery.

He also talks about a new video from the team behind the Surgeon’s Cookbook, the first two videos in the mastering redo surgery after TAVR series, and in interview with Hans-Joachim Schäfers. After discussing upcoming events in CT surgery, Joel closes with a shoutout to the organizers of The Heart Surgeon’s Cookbook project.
