Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is one of the techniques used by cardiac surgeons to repair or replace valves, including the mitral valve. While the procedure has a shorter recovery time than the traditional sternotomy, it is still an open heart operation, and not the same as the minimally invasive techniques used by interventional cardiologists. SMH Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery Jonathan Hoffberger, DO, explains the different options, and how the heart team approach helps to pair the right patient with the right procedure.

How do experienced operators approach the most technically demanding aspects of Distal Venous Arterialization (DVA)? In this episode of BackTable, host Dr. Sabeen Dhand sits down with Dr. Kumar Madassery for a detailed discussion of procedural strategy, technical decision-making, and real-world troubleshooting in DVA. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Madassery walks through his approach from pre-procedure planning to final scaffolding. The conversation begins with imaging review, patient selection, and anesthesia considerations, emphasizing how preparation influences technical success. They then examine venous mapping and access strategy, with specific attention to femoral and tibial disease patterns and how these anatomic variables shape crossing techniques.This episode also covers wire and catheter selection, techniques for creating the arteriovenous anastomosis, balloon sizing, valve management, and stent scaffolding. Throughout, Dr. Madassery shares practical solutions to common access challenges and highlights decision points that can determine procedural durability. The discussion closes with reflections on clinical management, operator fatigue, and the value of professional networks when navigating complex limb salvage cases. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction03:08 - Pre-Procedure Imaging and Setup05:01 - Venous Access and Mapping07:27 - Anesthesia and Patient Preparation12:29 - Femoral and Tibial Disease Considerations23:17 - Crossing Techniques and Tools27:16 - Venous Access Challenges and Solutions35:54 - Creating the Anastomosis37:03 - Balloon Sizing and Scaffolding Techniques38:26 - Navigating Venous Access Challenges39:56 - Wire and Catheter Strategies42:08 - Dealing with Valves and Anastomosis44:16 - Proximal vs. Distal DVA Approaches47:01 - Scaffolding and Stent Techniques50:06 - Clinical Management and Case Fatigue01:01:10 - Networking and Seeking Advice01:05:41 - Concluding Thoughts and Future Directions
Vacuum tubes are supposed to be extinct yet here we are in 2026 still arguing swapping and occasionally getting electrocuted. In this episode Mitch Anderson, Eric Pye, and Jeremy Sikora strip the romance out of valves and talk about why they still matter without leaning on lazy audiophile clichés. The discussion cuts through tube rolling reality versus placebo and the ongoing new production versus NOS debate. It also looks at why Ray Tubes are suddenly on everyone's radar and what Jeremy's amp building class at the American Wireless Communication Museum teaches you that spec sheets never will.Along the way, we connect the dots between Talk Talk's obsessive studio craft, Miles Davis with Jimmy Cobb's unshakable timing, and the Tron soundtrack, while getting very real about tube amp safety; from blown parts to painful zaps, because high voltage does not care how experienced you think you are.Thank you to SVS and Shure for their support of our programming!https://www.svsound.comhttps://www.shure.comCredits:• Original intro music by The Arc of All. https://sourceoflightandpower.bandcamp.com• Voice Over Provided by Todd Harrell of SSP Unlimited. https://sspunlimited.com• Production by Mitch Anderson, Black Circle Studios. https://blackcircleradio.comDon't forget to check our website for daily updates on the latest electronics, news, recommendations, and deals on high-end audio, loudspeakers, earphones, TVs, and more.https://www.ecoustics.com#raytubes #vacuumtubes #audiovalves #vinylcommunity #audioloveyyc #budgetaudiophiler #blackcircleradio #ecoustics #hifi #audiophile #hometheater #listeningroom #musicindustry #analogaudio
We started by talking about our musical instruments, which we loved deeply in theory and stored carelessly in reality, proving that passion and maintenance are not the same skill set. In high school we somehow managed to be both band kids and athletes, demonstrating that blowing into brass and colliding with linebackers can coexist as long as no one asks too many questions. We treated our instruments like priceless treasures while also leaving them in car trunks during temperature swings that would alarm a meteorologist. Naturally this led us to celebrity culture, where authenticity is expected to be spontaneous but professionally managed at all times. We used Kid Rock as an example, mostly because nothing says “quiet spiritual reflection” like stadium lighting and pyrotechnics. We discussed how celebrities are supposed to represent their faith publicly, but only in ways that don’t inconvenience their brand managers. We wrestled with the idea that when a famous person talks about Christianity, we immediately suspect a marketing strategy, yet when they don’t talk about it, we suspect cowardice, which is a terrific system. Wealth came up, because apparently following Jesus is simple until your house has more square footage than the New Testament. We examined how fame turns every belief into a press release and every doubt into a headline. Hollywood, of course, typecasts everyone, including people who are just trying to have a thought, which makes it difficult to be a nuanced human when you’ve already been labeled “The Faith Guy.” We reflected on interviews, where the goal is often to sound natural while answering pre-approved questions in a room full of lighting equipment. In the end we concluded that genuine conversation is surprisingly rare, mostly because it involves two people talking without a script, which in modern media qualifies as reckless behavior.

Wir haben Steam Deck, Steam Machine mit Steam Controller, aber am interessantesten aus technischer Sicht dürfte Steam Frame sein, Valves neue VR-Brille. Anders als Valve Index, die zwingend einen PC als Zuspielgerät benötigt, ist Steam Frame auch ein Standalone-Gerät: Mit Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 16GB LPDDR5X, 256GB oder 1TB interner Speicher, erweiterbar per Micro-SD-Karte, Pancake-Linsen und 2160 Pixeln pro Auge zieht die Steam Frame mit der Konkurrenz Meta Quest 3 einerseits gleich oder übertrifft sie sogar. Das Mehr an Performance ist auch nötig, denn wie bei allen Steam-Geräten läuft die Steam Frame mit SteamOS, hier sogar auf ARM64. Valve verspricht, dass viele Spiele direkt auf der Brille laufen sollen, dazu müssen sie nicht nur durch Proton als Übersetzungsschicht von Windows auf Linux, sondern x86-Befehle müssen auch noch per FEX für den Snapdragon emuliert werden.. Primär soll die Frame daher von einem geeigneten Gerät per Streaming bespielt werden, und damit das reibungslos und latenzarm funktioniert, haben sich die Engineers bei Valve einiges einfallen lassen: ein dedizierter Streaming-Stick mit Wifi 6E wird mitgeliefert, und mit Foveated Streaming haben sie eine innovative Methode entwickelt, Bitrate zu sparen bzw. primär dort einzusetzen, wo das Auge fokusiert.

Inside infrastructure, there's a simple device called check valves quietly protecting water systems from chaos, stopping dirty water from flowing backward, and keeping everything running smoothly amid bigger storms, tighter regulations, and growing cities. In this episode, Cal Hayes from Proco Products explains the vital role of check valves. He explains how they need zero maintenance or power, making them ideal for handling sewage backups in treatment plants and at coastal outfalls to avoid costly overflows. Cal shares how innovative valves mix drinking water reservoirs more effectively, cutting down on chemicals and downtime for greener, more reliable supplies. In tough spots like massive ocean waves near Djibouti or flood-prone shores in New Jersey, flexible rubber versions hold up against harsh conditions. He also spotlights smart adaptations in Oregon, where valves spread treated wastewater gently to protect rivers and wildlife.Learn more about Proco Products.waterloop is a nonprofit news outlet exploring solutions for water sustainability.

This week we speak with congenital heart surgeon T. Konrad Rajab of Arkansas Children's Hospital about a recent report he co-authored on piglet experiments on partial heart transplantation. How did transplanted heart valves grow in comparison to standard homografts and how did the valvular function differ with time? Is there a minimum dose of immunosuppresion that can protect these valves and can this dose be lower than full heart transplantation immunosuppresion therapy? Is partial heart transplantation considered a potential life-long approach to valve replacement or mostly something used to allow for growth of valves during childhood? What do we know about the world's limited experience in humans of this approach? Dr. Rajab shares the answers this week in an exciting 'sci-fi' episode. The future is now.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacbts.2024.10.015

Valves are sticking all over as the hosts give advice on how to avoid pulling cylinders. Send your questions to podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full notes below: Rick has a 182 with a new Pponk engine and he's burning lots of exhaust valves. He's wondering what he should change operationally. Paul said to borescope more frequently to find the asymmetric burn patterns before they need to be replaced, and if they start to have asymmetric patterns to lap them immediately. He recommends borescoping every 100 hours. Mike gives some initial results of Savvy Aviation's borescope initiative, which after 100,000 images found that 7 or 8 percent of valves showed signs of heat distress. Twenty five percent of the engines had at least one valve that was heat distressed. About 85 percent of those valves were in the early stage of distress and could be lapped. Only about 15 percent were considered late stage. Brad has an SR22 with an IO-550 that had high oil usage. They pulled a cylinder, rehoned it and put on new rings. Later he started asking questions about torquing the through bolts, and the shop told him they held a wrench on the other side, but didn't torque both sides. He's wondering if he should go back and retorque the bolts. Mike and Paul think he's probably ok. Bruce is sick of sniffing gas fumes. They installed new fuel senders and a digital fuel gauge in their 172. They followed the procedure to calibrate the fuel senders, but he's having trouble getting it correct. He's as much as two gallons off from what it should be. Paul starts by asking what bucket Bruce is using because the utility buckets from the home stores are unreliable as calibrated containers, he said. The other issue is the wet wing construction, which can lead to dams that make it difficult to fully defuel or refuel. Bruce has even accounted for temperature. He's within half a gallon on one side, which Paul said is usually as close as you can get it. Ed is stirring the pot. He read that in an article in the American Bonanza Society publication that operating lean of peak is bad for engines. Obviously the hosts disagree, and a discussion of the merits of rich of peak and lean of peak ensues.
