The most popular congenital video of 2024 is the case of a nine-year-old male with severe sub-valvular stenosis caused by a discrete subaortic membrane and interventricular septum hypertrophy. The surgical technique included excision of the subaortic membrane, mobilization of the left and right fibrous trigons, and extended septal myectomy. 

2.) How I Do It: Pediatric Orthotopic Heart Transplant   [8]

2.) Emergency Anterior Bilateral Thoracotomy  [15]

By Claudia Villanueva [16]

This top-rated thoracic video demonstrates a bilateral anterior thoracotomy or clamshell thoracotomy.  A clamshell thoracotomy is used primarily to treat cardiac tamponade as a potential cause of death. The goals are to release cardiac tamponade, control hemorrhage, and restart the heart.
