Complex Robotic-Assisted Pulmonary Resection in the Setting of Prior Laryngectomy

Severe leaflet tethering which is mainly the result of long standing Tricuspid valve regurgitation and RV dilatation is the main predictor of residual and/or recurrent valve insufficiency. We present the Novel technique of Papillary Muscle Cross Control which effectively overcomes the leaflet tethering in a very practical, simple , and reproducible manner by controlled approximation of the anterior papillary muscle to the posterior/septal part of the semi-rigid annuloplasty ring. The papillary cross-control technique is applicable both as a supplementary technique after ring annuloplasty for functional TR with tethered cusps and also for completing the repair in more complex cases of organic valve disease such as Ebstein Anomaly. Our early and late results with this technique has been quite encouraging.

This is the archived version of the webinar that concluded the Guest Editor Series, "Lung Cancer Screening - Health Care Disparities." The panelists discuss the various videos contributed to the series regarding disparities in the detection and treatment of lung cancer in the United States.

This is a multidisciplinary discussion on the barriers and solutions to disparities in the treatment of patients with advanced lung cancer.
