Background: Effective cardiothoracic surgical training requires an emphasis on education through timely feedback and constructive criticism.
Aims: Review of the implementation of the System for Improving and Measuring Procedural Learning application within a cardiothoracic surgical training program.
Materials & Methods: Here, we review a report by Bergquist et al. to the Journal of Cardiac Surgery detailing their implementation of the System for Improving and Measuring Procedural Learning application.
Conclusion: It is feasible for the SIMPL application to be implemented with acceptable use in a cardiothoracic training program.

Germ cell tumours are usually found in the gonads, while the most common extragonadal site is the anterior mediastinum. When these tumours involve the tracheobronchial tree, patients present with trichoptysis or coughing up of hair. We present a rare case of a woman who presented with trichoptysis and was evaluated and diagnosed with benign mature teratoma of the anterior mediastinum with bronchopulmonary involvement.

: In the presence of porcelain aorta (PA), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a class I therapeutic indication for the treatment of severe aortic valve stenosis. To date, few studies have analyzed the clinical outcomes of TAVR in PA patients. We aim to analyze the calcification patterns of the thoracic aorta in PA patients and to evaluate their clinical implications for TAVR procedures.
