The Beat With Joel Dunning Ep. 67: Randomized Controlled Trial Research

This week on The Beat, Editor in Chief Joel Dunning discusses the RESTORE trial for individuals with pectus excavatum. He discusses the goals for this trial, Castor EDC vs REDCap, and the statistical plan.  He also discusses risk factors influencing postoperative pleural empyema in patients with pleural mesothelioma, pre- and postoperative functional outcome parameters in patients receiving laryngotracheal surgery, surgical management of large tracheoesophageal fistulas in infants after button battery ingestion, and the “Seattle Shawl” procedure.  In addition, Joel discusses atrial septal defect closure in the setting of severe pectus excavatum, the Ravitch procedure with external rib plating to maximize relief of cardiac compression, and another installment in Dr. Tristan Yan’s aortic repair series focused on how to assess aortic valve competency of the mini-access CAVIAAR procedure. Before saying goodbye, Joel discusses upcoming events in CT surgery.  JANS Items Mentioned Risk Factors Influencing Postoperative Pleural Empyema in Patients With Pleural Mesothelioma: A Single-Centre Analysis  In-Depth Analysis of Pre- and Postoperative Functional Outcome Parameters in Patients Receiving Laryngotracheal Surgery  Surgical Management of Large Tracheoesophageal Fistula in Infants After Button Battery Ingestion  A Novel, Simplified Protected Ross Technique: The “Seattle Shawl” Procedure  CTSNet Content Mentioned Atrial Septal Defect Closure in the Setting of Severe Pectus Excavatum: A Unique Case The Ravitch Procedure With External Rib Plating to Maximize Relief of Cardiac Compression   Deep Dive Into Aortic Surgery: Mini-Access CAVIAAR Procedure, Part 1: How to Assess Aortic Valve Competency Other Items Mentioned CTSNet Events Calendar Disclaimer The information and views presented on CTSNet.org represent the views of the authors and contributors of the material and not of CTSNet. Please review our full disclaimer page here.
