A deeper look at real world situations reveals the complex nature of safety, and how safety emerges in organizations that thoughtfully apply the cultural elements necessary for safety to flourish (38:23 minutes).

A therapeutic combination including cytoreductive surgery (CRS) to excise the visible disease and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to treat the remaining, nonvisible disease may greatly increase median survival and achieve cure in selected patients (29:54 minutes).

Transmyocardial Laser Revascularization (TMR) remains an important treatment option for advanced coronary artery disease(42:32 minutes).

Heart failure can be the result of a wide range of disorders, including coronary ischemic heart disease, myocardial diseases, and valvular heart disease. Specific treatments address the underlying pathophysiology of the disorder. By reviewing hemodynamic and pressure-volume relationships in disease, we can think about tailoring our therapy to the needs of the patient (46:14 minutes).

By understanding the nuances of minimally invasive cardiac surgical perfusion techniques one can hopefully avoid and if necessary successfully navigate most unexpected complications (47:58 minutes).

This presentation aims to address the topic of IAB sizing and its correlation to therapy as well as strategies to optimize size on an individual basis (32:38 minutes).

This presentation describes the lessons learned from starting a commercial TAVR program in a community-based hospital in Honolulu, HI. (54:49 minutes).

This presentation will help illustrate the marked differences between acquired versus congenital heart disease in the adult population using both case studies and illustrations (60:34 minutes).

Failure Mode Effects Analysis, FMEA, is a technique which will help us to be proactive for risk analysis. Perfusion safety will be defined and six steps to perfusion safety will be reviewed. Practical benefits to having a perfusion FMEA will be discussed to see if your perfusion program is ready for an emergency (45:59 minutes).
