Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pediheart Podcast #372: 30+ Year Follow-Up After The Arterial Switch Operation - The Melbourne Experience
Q: Can interventions usually happen via repair or replacement when patients need aortic valve or root interventions?
Most of those valves are replaced, but I feel strongly that they must be repaired as they are structurally normal, and with proper techniques, durability can be achieved.
Pediheart Podcast #372: 30+ Year Follow-Up After The Arterial Switch Operation - The Melbourne Experience
Q: What are the major technical reasons that you think that patients with transposition and a VSD undergoing an arterial switch have higher rates of both right and left-sided re-intervention following surgery?
Patients with VSD operate later, have larger pulmonary arching leading to larger neo-aortic roots, and smaller aorta which can lead to higher intervention rates.
Pediheart Podcast #299 Replay: Public Reporting In Congenital Heart Surgery - The Good, The Bad And The Opportunities
Q: How do you think STS and other organizations should better explain these outcomes to prevent unfair conclusions?
There needs to be a more thorough understanding and explanation of the limitations of the metrics used, including sample sizes and statistical significance.
Pediheart Podcast #299 Replay: Public Reporting In Congenital Heart Surgery - The Good, The Bad And The Opportunities
Q: What do you anticipate would be the obstacles to developing such a system of oversight for underperforming centers?
One major obstacle is funding, as well as the need for mechanisms to ensure that all centers can access impartial evaluations.
Pediheart Podcast #299 Replay: Public Reporting In Congenital Heart Surgery - The Good, The Bad And The Opportunities
Q: What was the main motivation for you and your colleagues to write this editorial about a topic that has really been in all of our minds for the last one to two decades?
The main motivation has been frustration with the metrics we are using for public reporting, as they are flawed and often misunderstood.
