This week on the one-year anniversary of The Beat, Editor in Chief Joel Dunning speaks with Professor Paul Sergeant about the future of education in cardiothoracic surgery.

In addition, Joel discusses trends in SAVR after TAVR, microplastics in cardiovascular events, and fibrous tumors of the pleura.

He also highlights the three winners of the Resident Video Competition, including rib resection for thoracic outlet syndrome, a robotic segmentectomy, and a hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Before saying goodbye, he discusses upcoming events in CT surgery.
