Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:33 Surgical Instrument Donations 02:43 Adverse Outcomes in Surgery 10:05 Lymph Node NSCLC Study 12:45 Pleural Invasion by AI Analysis 15:54 Robotic vs Conventional MVR 18:55 Postop Atrioventricular Block 22:36 Extra-Anatomical Bypass & AVR 24:25 Redo MV w Different Strategies 27:57 Manage Aorto-Mitral Abscess Endocarditis 30:41 GOMED Interview 43:04 Closing They discuss the reasons behind its creation, its mission, the current status of the organization, and how individuals and companies can get involved. Additionally, they explored some of the equipment GOMED has and what it needs, and the various locations it serves. Joel also shares insights about a recent patient of his with Marfan Syndrome and pectus excavatum, emphasizing the ongoing importance of the N=1 trial in clinical research.  Joel also highlights recent JANS articles on lymph node sampling and survival in non-small cell lung cancer, pleural invasion of peripheral cT1 lung cancer by deep learning analysis of thoracoscopic images, clinical outcomes and costs of robotic-assisted vs conventional mitral valve repair, and postoperative atrioventricular block after surgery for congenital heart disease.   In addition, Joel explores extra-anatomical aortic bypass and aortic valve replacement in a patient with aortic coarctation and severe aortic insufficiency, totally endoscopic redo mitral valve surgery with different myocardial protection strategies, and managing aorto-mitral abscess endocarditis after previous AVR with an LVOT enlargement procedure. Before closing, he highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.    JANS Items Mentioned  1.) Lymph Node Sampling and Survival in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A 10-Year Danish Cohort Study  2.)
