17 ABR. 2026 · This week we review a recent Australian prospective assessment of aspirin resistance in children undergoing heart surgery. How common is this seen in this patient group and what are the reasons? What is the best test to perform to assess this and what tests may not be worthwile? Who deserves 'routine' testing for this possible problem? Cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Supreet Marathe of Queensland Children's Hospital in Brisbane, Australia shares the results of this recent publication.

10 ABR. 2026 · This week we speak with Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Audrey Dionne about a recent work she co-authored on sinus node dysfunction following congenital heart surgery. How common was this encountered and how often were either temporary or permanent pacing needed? Are there certain surgeries that are more associated with the need for pacing after surgery? Why is this so common following heart surgery? Dr. Dionne shares her deep knowledge this week on this surprisingly common problem.

3 ABR. 2026 · In this compelling lecture by Dr. David Winlaw of Northwestern University, we hear his thoughts on the state of the CICU/Surgeon relationship and he offers his thoughts on how to improve care for children with congenital heart disease undergoing surgery. Why does he believe that the more old fashioned approach of having cardiac programs run by academic departments is no longer optimal? What do critical care doctors not understand about surgery and vice versa? Are we asking too much of our CICU practitioners? How can the 'shift work' mentality be abolished and how can we avoid burnout for our critical care front line staff while also improving outcomes for patients? How can we bring joy back into the care of children with critical heart disease? Dr. Winlaw shares his insights from a long career in multiple centers worldwide in the Thomas J. Spray Lecture at the Cardiology 2026 CHOP conference from late February, 2026 in Arizona.
27 MAR. 2026 · This week we sit down and speak with noted non-invasive imaging expert Dr. Kelly Han of U. Utah about a recent work she co-authored on recommendations for the development of a congenital heart CCT program. What are the absolute essentials when considering offering these services in a center? How do different scanners differ from one another and how important is it to have single vs. dual source CT? Can good work be performed on 'older' machines? Who are the most important team members for a congenital CT team? Dr. Han shares her thoughts as well as the ideas of many of the thought leaders who co-authored this important statement paper.

13 MAR. 2026 · This week we speak with Professor James Cnota of Cincinnati Children's Hospital about a recent report he co-authored from the SVR trial regarding the impact of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on outcomes in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). How common is TR seen in the HLHS patient and how does this change over time after surgical palliations? Is there an optimal time to intervene on the tricuspid valve in this patient group? What does the future hold for tricuspid surgical interventions? Dr. Cnota has the answers this week.

In this week's lecture we hear Dr. Gail Pearson of the NHLBI and NIH deliver her thoughts about the future of congenital heart research. Where does this master of research believe the next discoveries are going to arise from? What are the lessons we have learned from the PHN research endeavors over the past 25 years? Dr. Pearson offers her thoughts in this wonderful presentation which was the 24th Annual William J. Rashking Memorial Lecture at this conference. This presentation was delivered on 2.28.26.

27 FEB. 2026 · This week we speak with Dr. John Brown who is the Harris B. Schumacker Professor Emeritus of Surgery at the University of Indiana. A congenital heart surgeon for over 45 years, Dr. Brown has performed more than 15,000 pediatric heart operations at Riley Hospital for Children and another 5000 heart operations in adults at IU and Methodist Hospitals. He performed the first pediatric heart transplant in Indiana and developed the first clinical use of the bovine jugular vein and valve for a pulmonary valve replacment in children. He also performed the only known twin to twin newborn heart transplant in the world. He has done and seen it all and has a unique perspective. How did he achieve so much and still have a succesful 56 year marriage to his wife Carol Ann? What is Dr. Brown most proud of in a career that is as prolific as his? What advice would he have have for the next generation? Prepare to be inspired by this master surgeon and friend and colleague of many in our field.

20 FEB. 2026 · This week we review a fascinating very long-term surgical follow-up study from the team at Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne reviewing over 30 year follow-up following the arterial switch operation for the treatment of transposition of the great vessels. What percentage of patients need reintervention by 30 years post neonatal repair? What anatomical sub-types are more likely to be associated with a need for reintervention and why? When intervention is required for neo-aortic or aortic root problems, can these usually be repaired or do they require replacement? Professor Igor Konstantinov from Melbourne shares his deep insights into this complex patient group.

13 FEB. 2026 · Why are compassion, kindness and humility critical to the care of patients in 2026? How can practitioners be taught these approaches and how does this 'triple gift' not only improve patient care but also professional interactions? Can this be taught? If so, what are the best ways? Professor Colin McMahon of Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin shares his deep insights into this important and oft-neglected aspect of being a caregiver.
