This video demonstrates a single leaflet neocuspidization technique for a destroyed aortic valve leaflet due to infective endocarditis in a patient with adult congenital heart disease. This technique not only gives the advantage of maximal preservation of normal native tissue of the aortic valve complex but also avoids the use of a prosthetic valve and its related complications, particularly in females of childbearing age.

This video illustrates how to use Da Silva’s cone repair technique to repair the tricuspid valve in an Ebstein anomaly type C and simultaneously perform a repair of a partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage from the left superior pulmonary vein to the innominate vein, anastomosing the pulmonary vein to the anterior surface of the left atrium.

Recently, NICE released guidance from the British regulatory body limiting the Ozaki operation to research until further review, which is scheduled in three calendar years. The overarching concern appears to be the durability of the autoprosthesis. NICE guidelines have the strongest influence in healthcare in the United Kingdom and often abroad.

This report describes a new Society of Thoracic Surgeons mortality risk model for adults with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac operations that are not included in existing risk models. A risk model was developed using forty-seven congenital variables in 192,196 patients operated on between 2011 and 2019.
