The Beat With Joel Dunning Ep. 75: EACTS Recap

This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning discusses the highlights of the 38th EACTS Annual Meeting and reviews several important presentations. He discusses the presentation from engineer Amy Kertok on the interdisciplinary intersection of medicine and technology, and the presidential speech delivered by Franca Melfi on perseverance. He also shares the guidelines that were presented at the meeting, including blood management, perioperative medications, myocardial revascularization and aortic.  Joel also reviews recent JANS articles on ultrasonic emulsification of severe mitral annular calcification to enable mitral valve repair, the perceval sutureless bioprosthetic aortic valve, impact of radiological follow-up frequency on resected lung cancer, heart transplantation after donation after circulatory death, and more.   In addition, Joel explores the world's first robotic heart transplant at the King Faisal Hospital in Riyadh, direct cannulation through right anterior mini thoracotomy for aortic valve replacement, an indigenous technique of surgical management in a case of acute on chronic type A and type B aortic dissection, and robotic-assisted left first rib resection. Before closing, he shares upcoming events in CT surgery.   JANS Items Mentioned  1.) Ultrasonic Emulsification of Severe Mitral Annular Calcification to Enable Mitral Valve Repair  2.)
