Long live the traditional pathway to cardiothoracic surgery training!

Reply: Be the change you wish to see.

The training pathways in cardiothoracic surgery have evolved so that there are currently several viable options to this career. The purpose of this review is to give insight to medical students and mentors regarding the 4 different pathways.

Which cardiothoracic surgery training pathway is right for you?

Achondroplasia is the most common short stature skeletal dysplasia, but there are few reports of cardiac surgical intervention in these patients.

Mitral Valve Repair in a Patient With Achondroplasia.

Cardiac hemangiomas are rare, benign primary tumors that can be locally invasive and cause symptoms. The current recommendation is a complete R0 resection, which may require coronary artery reconstruction. We present a patient with progressive dyspnea who was found to have a large cardiac hemangioma encasing the left anterior descending artery and compressing the left ventricle. To achieve an R0 resection, the mass was removed en bloc with the left anterior descending artery, and the artery was reconstructed using a saphenous vein interposition graft. This case demonstrates the importance of an R0 resection for cardiac hemangioma, which may need nontraditional revascularization techniques.
