Simplifying Aortic Arch Surgery: An Interview with Stephen Spindel

Tuesday, October 17, 2023

September’s most popular video on CTSNet, and one of the most viewed so far in 2023, demonstrates a safe and simple technique for efficient replacement of the aortic hemiarch under hypothermic circulatory arrest that consistently takes just seven minutes. 

Joel Dunning, CTSNet’s editor in chief, spoke with the video’s creator, Dr. Stephen Spindel of Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, about his streamlined technique for the complex procedure. The two also talked about why Dr. Spindel believes the best approach is to “keep it simple” and why his videos have proven so valuable to the CTSNet community.
