Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Beat With Joel Dunning Ep. 157: Failed Bioprostheses—The REPEAT Trial

Q: Tell us what Repeat is and why we need this trial?

Repeat is an investigator-initiated international trial comparing redo surgery versus valve-in-valve Tavir for failing bioprostheses, designed to provide clear long-term outcomes to guide decision-making for patients who are eligible for redo surgery or valve-in-valve approaches.

The Lifeline: Functional Hemodynamics in Postoperative Cardiothoracic Care

Q: Do we give volume or do we not, given the patient's current hemodynamics and response to previous interventions?

Begin with a structured assessment of preload, afterload, and contractility, then apply dynamic indices to predict fluid responsiveness; if the patient responds with an increased stroke volume, continue cautious fluid support or consider vasopressors if the response is inadequate or if signs of hypoperfusion persist.

The Lifeline: Functional Hemodynamics in Postoperative Cardiothoracic Care

Q: So how can we quickly determine the problem and an appropriate course of action based on all of this information, Jan? How would functional hemodynamics help us in this situation?

By focusing on dynamic parameters that reflect beat-to-beat changes, we can assess whether the patient will respond to fluids and how to optimize forward flow, using maneuvers like passive leg raising and, when possible, rapid mini fluid challenges to guide therapy.

The Beat With Joel Dunning Ep. 156: Ascending Stent Graft—ARISE III Trial

Q: Tell us about the patient who became the first ARISE 3 recipient and what made them suitable for an ascending aorta stent graft.

The patient was an elderly woman in her early 80s with chronic kidney disease and limited mobility, stable without malperfusion or rupture, making her a high‑risk candidate for open surgery; she met anatomical criteria and was enrolled after a thorough consent process with real-time imaging review and multi‑specialty input.

The Cardiac Recovery Room: Early Mobility, Verticalization, and Delirium, Oh My!

Q: Can you share a case where early mobility changed the outcome for a cardiac surgery patient?

A case is discussed where delaying mobility and sedating a patient exacerbated delirium; timely PT involvement and reorientation, using nonpharmacologic strategies, helped the patient recover faster and avoid long hospital stays.
