This week we delve into cardiac surgery and review a recent paper from Rady Children's Hospital about patch material and outcomes in the CHD surgical patient. What are the reasons that glutaraldehyde is used to treat patches used for surgery and what are the potential benefits and disadvantages? What sorts of patches are best for what indications? Are there data to suggest superiority of one patch material versus another? We speak with the senior author of this week's work, Assistant Professor of Surgery at Mount Sinai, Dr. Raghav Murthy about this interesting topic. DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2020.11.014
