A variety of procedures make up CTSNet’s catalog of heart valve content, which has continued to expand as surgeons increasingly focus on perfecting valve surgeries. Explore five of the most popular heart valve videos on the site in the past year and let us know your favorite in the comments.

This article is a practical review of a standalone resource on atrioventricular valve regurgitation that has not received much attention in contemporary practice but has much potential to change the understanding and practice of cardiothoracic surgeons who deal with this major disease subset burden in their careers.

Tricuspid valve repair with patch augmentation is used to overcome the valve regurgitation caused by malcoaptation of leaflets. This video shows the technique used when the anterior leaflet is too thin to hold the suture line safely; the possibility of tearing the leaflet after cutting and suturing exists. The augmentation was made at the annular level with no contact on the leaflet itself. This technique ensures a much more secure repair, as the suturing is only on the fibromuscular tissue. An artificial chordal support to the flail leaflet technique is also demonstrated.

Pericardial constriction from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) pericardial replacement membrane is rare. The condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a patient with a history of prior cardiac surgery presents with symptoms and signs of heart failure.

Severe leaflet tethering which is mainly the result of long standing Tricuspid valve regurgitation and RV dilatation is the main predictor of residual and/or recurrent valve insufficiency. We present the Novel technique of Papillary Muscle Cross Control which effectively overcomes the leaflet tethering in a very practical, simple , and reproducible manner by controlled approximation of the anterior papillary muscle to the posterior/septal part of the semi-rigid annuloplasty ring. The papillary cross-control technique is applicable both as a supplementary technique after ring annuloplasty for functional TR with tethered cusps and also for completing the repair in more complex cases of organic valve disease such as Ebstein Anomaly. Our early and late results with this technique has been quite encouraging.
