The Beat With Joel Dunning Ep. 146: Insights Into the Innovations Journal

This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Dr. Niv Ad, Editor-in-Chief of the journal Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery and professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, about the journal. They discussed the main topics and procedures covered by Innovations, highlighting its double-blind peer-review process and the special feature section. Additionally, they provided tips for those interested in submitting to the journal.  

Joel also highlights recent JANS articles on a meta-analysis of double-blind randomized controlled trials for the assessment of adverse effects attributed to statin therapy in product labels, mortality and reintervention after robotic mitral repair in the United States, the three-year results of the LYTEN trial on balloon- vs self-expanding transcatheter valves for failed small surgical aortic, and the first-in-human study on transcatheter aortic valve-in-mechanical valve replacement. 

In addition, Joel explores an endoscopic cone repair in an adult patient with Ebstein anomaly, an alternative cannulation site for the placement of a retrograde cardioplegia catheter, and a standardized surgical management strategy for rheumatic mitral valve disease. Before closing, Joel highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.
