Robotic Anatomical Pulmonary Resections: An Australian Experience
Robotic thoracic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that allows the surgeon to perform delicate, accurate surgical manoeuvres within the chest cavity without rib spreading. Previous studies have suggested potential benefits of the robotic platform in nodal upstaging due to its versatility, seven degrees of freedom of movement, and superior vision. However, there is currently a paucity of robust clinical data from Australia. (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)

Ablation and Reduction: Adjuncts in Mitral Valve Surgery in Patients With Large Atria
There is a complex relationship between mitral valve disease, atrial fibrillation (AF) and size of left atrium (LA), each factor potentially influencing the other. The combination of left atrial (LA) reduction in patients with enlarged atria and ablative maze procedures in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery seems intuitive [1]. However, both concomitant procedures need enthusiastic champions. It has been over 20 years since ablative maze procedures were reported in a multicentre setting as a reasonably successful method of restoring sinus rhythm [2]. (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)

Unsolved Issues on Beneficial Effects of Combination Therapy With Sotatercept in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Hoeper et al. [1] reported impressive results from the multicentre, phase 3 trial “STELLAR” (A Study of Sotatercept in Combination With Background Therapy for the Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension), which have been recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Of note, a combinat ion therapy with sotatercept added to the standard therapy significantly improved exercise capacity in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) when compared with placebo, resulting in improved 6-minute walking distance, decreased pulmonary vascular resistance and N-terminal B-type natriu retic peptide leve...
