Approach to Optimizing Endovascular Position in Aortic Dissection Repair Using Intravascular Ultrasound and TEE

Introduction  Accurate identification of the true vs false lumen is a critical step prior to deploying an endovascular device in patients with aortic dissection. The importance of true lumen deployment cannot be overstated, as inadvertent false lumen deployment may result in significant morbidity and mortality. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) are valuable tools…

Lighting the Way: How ICG Enables Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgeries in Resource-Limited Settings

This video submission is from the 2025 CTSNet Innovation Video Competition. Watch all entries from the competition, including the winning videos.    The authors prospectively documented the use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) performed at their center.

Robotic Right Upper Lobectomy Without Dissecting the Superior Pulmonary Vein: A Multiportal Approach

In this video, the authors present a multiportal robotic right upper lobectomy performed with a vein-sparing strategy, in which the superior pulmonary vein was not dissected. The patient was a 68-year-old man with a prior left upper lobectomy via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) who was found to have a 2.7-cm right upper lobe nodule without…
