This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning speaks with Dr. Nina Fuller-Shavel, co-chair of the British Society for Integrative Oncology (BSIO) from 2021 to 2023 and current co-chair of the BSIO Clinical Practice and Education Committee, about integrative oncology. Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:29 Integrative Medicine 09:13 Bar Dislocation, Pectus 10:53 Effective Circulating Volume Fraction 13:14 Repair vs Replacement, Edge-to-Edge 16:14 Relaxed TAVI Age Threshold? 18:14 Supravalvar Aortic Stenosis Transaxillary 20:09 How-To, AAE Tricuspid Repair 21:49 Modified Robotic Tracheobronchoplasty 23:34 Dr. Fuller-Shavel, Integrative Oncology 56:21 Upcoming Events 58:28 Closing They discuss what integrative oncology entails, mistletoe therapy, oncothermia, and the innovative integrative oncology app called Oncio. They also explore guidelines relating to this topic, nutrition, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Dr. Fuller-Shavel also provides recommendations for supporting patients’ mindfulness during cancer treatment.   Joel also highlights recent JANS articles on bar dislocation after pectus excavatum repair, effective circulating volume fraction in Type A aortic dissection, surgical mitral valve repair vs replacement after failed mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, and if the age threshold for TAVI can be relaxed to below 65 years.   In addition, Joel explores minimally invasive transaxillary repair of supravalvar aortic stenosis, how to perform an aortic annulus enlargement with tricuspid repair, and modified robotic-assisted tracheobronchoplasty in a patient with severe calcific mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Before closing, he highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.    JANS Items Mentioned  1.)
