Yacoub's aortic root remodeling procedure has been recognized for its efficacy in avoiding anticoagulation issues and preserving aortic dynamics, with recent modifications enhancing the neo-aortic sinuses and sinotubular junction. This video demonstrates the Yacoub II procedure for acute aortic dissection.

Constrictive pericarditis is a long-lasting inflammatory condition that surrounds the heart with a thicker fibrotic pericardium due to the formation of scar tissue. This results in compromised diastolic cardiac function, which leads to heart failure characterized by systemic symptoms without pulmonary congestion. Pericardiectomy is an effective surgical treatment for constrictive pericarditis and has shown significant benefits for patients.

Aortic valve repair for insufficiency is sometimes limited by deficient leaflet tissue. During the past two years, the authors have been using autologous aortic wall as a leaflet substitute, with great success. This video provides an early introduction to this technique, serving as a preliminary step to long-term follow-up studies.
