Case Presentation A 70-year-old woman presented with a symptomatic aortic aneurysm and mild-to-moderate central aortic regurgitation. Preoperative CT-C showed enlargement of her ascending and descending aorta and her aortic arch. Her aortic root was not dilated. Transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated a trileaflet aortic valve with mild-to-moderate central aortic regurgitation and preserved ejection fraction. Procedure The patient…
Microlobectomy aims to reduce postoperative pain and enhance a patient’s recovery. The key principles include: no intercostal utility incision; no intercostal incisions larger than 5 mm; adoption of 5 mm instrumentation, 5 mm sealing devices, and a 5 mm camera; and the addition of a subxiphoid port used for larger tools, specimen retrieval, and chest…
Christian Etz of the Herzzentrum Leipzig in Germany discusses spinal cord protection during thoracoabdominal aortic procedures. He presents a noninvasive approach to monitor oxygenation of the spinal blood supply. He also discusses a trial for a procedure to prevent postoperative paraplegia. This presentation was originally given during the SCTS Ionescu University program at the 2017…

This video demonstrates the resection of a fibroelastoma in the left ventricular outflow tract using a minimally invasive approach. The 83-year-old female patient was asymptomatic. Her cardiovascular history included a stent for infrarenal aortic aneurysm. Computed tomography angiography showed no lesions. The transesophageal echocardiography showed a hyperechoic mobile image that protruded towards the left ventricular…
Interrupted aortic arch occurring with an aortopulmonary window is an extremely rare anomaly with very few cases described in the current literature. This video demonstrates a single stage repair in a preterm very-low birth weight neonate, using autologous pericardium to reconstruct the aorta. The patient was a one-week-old late preterm neonate with a birth weight…
Sacha Mussot of the Marie Lannelongue Hospital in Le Plessis-Robinson, France, discusses tracheal resection. He focuses on advances in replacing or reconstructing the trachea in cases where too much tissue is removed for a tracheal anastomosis to be possible. This presentation was originally given during the SCTS Ionescu University program at the 2017 Annual Meeting…
