This video presents the case of a thirty-year-old woman who underwent a commando procedure to treat bacterial endocarditis.
August 24, 2023
This video presents the case of minimally invasive mitral valve and ALCAPA repair in a twenty-one-month-old female patient. This operation was performed through a right axillary minithoracotomy in the fourth intercostal space.

We present an operative technique video of the anatomic repair of congenitally corrected transposition (ccTGA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonary atresia (PS), and mild right ventricular hypoplasia in a 2-year-old palliated with a 3.5mm rmBTS (and coronary artery fistula ligation) in the neonatal period, followed by a rmBTS takedown and bidirectional Glenn shunt at 4m/o.

An augmentation of the pulmonary valve with pericardial patch, suture repair of pulmonary leaflet, artificial chordae replacement of the tricuspid anterior leaflet, valvuloplasty, and annuloplasty that ended with trace tricuspid regurgitation and trace pulmonary regurgitation is shown in this video.

A large series of closure of atrial septal defects ( mostly secundum) in adult and some adolescent patients. There are token cases of other (moderate to severe) congenital cases included in this narrative. The Onans offer details on the evolution of their Da Vinci program in Istanbul.

This video demonstrates a 2-year-old patient with infective endocarditis and severely damaged mitral valve who underwent a complex mitral valve repair by resecting all the infected tissue and rebuilding the architecture of the valve by multiple Matrix patches and chordal transfer.
