This video presents the “Buff Cuff” technique, a modified zone 2 arch replacement that uses a shorter stent, ending proximal to the left subclavian artery, to preserve flow to distal vasculature and optimize the future landing zone for thoracic branch endografts.

This video demonstrates the operative steps for successful sutured patch repair of a large ischemic left ventricular free wall rupture, an increasingly rare but often fatal mechanical complication of myocardial infarction.

A researcher at Stanford has developed a method to visually identify the cardiac conduction system during surgery in order to avoid harm during cardiac surgery. To do this, antibodies are bound to surface markers on cardiac conduction cells and can be seen with infrared light.

ROMA-Women is an offshoot of the original ROMA CABG trial designed to address the lack of women in surgical studies, and therefore the lack of guideline-directed surgical care for women patients. Women make up less than one third of participants in cardiac trials, yet they make up roughly half of annual cardiac deaths in the US annually.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is often seen in patients having a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implanted. A comparison was done between LVAD patients from the EUROMACS registry with either none-to-mild or moderate-to-severe MR prior to implantation.
