This video presents minimally invasive, off-pump mitral valve repair with the NeoChord DS1000 system. This is an innovative device that implants multiple sets of Gortex PTFE neochords onto the prolapsing segment of the posterior mitral valve leaflet. This hybrid operation was performed under TEE guidance and beating heart conditions. The patient in this video is…
During a recent visit to Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya, Dr. Mimi Ceppa met key stakeholders for a potential expansion of a multidisciplinary esophageal and thoracic surgery program in relation to the Academic Model as a Pathway to Healthcare (AMPATH) program. This consortium of North American universities, led by the Indiana University School of Global…
A three-week-old, 2.5 kg neonate who presented with heart failure symptoms and a systolic murmur was found to have anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. An echocardiogram showed severe left ventricular dysfunction with a dilated left ventricle and moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation. The decision was made to…

The pathophysiology and evidence in terms of long-term management of post-COVID-19 respiratory symptoms and pulmonary sequelae remain poorly understood and data regarding thrombotic lung lesions are still lacking. Patients with post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis may present with dyspnea, dry cough, and oxygen desaturation. Reduced diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide and a restrictive pattern are the most…
Prof. Bo Yang first described a Y-incision rectangular patch aortic annular enlargement technique, and it is one of the posterior aortic annular enlargement techniques that is simpler than giving 3 to 4 valve size enlargements. This group renamed it after Prof. Yang, with his consent, as the Yang procedure. The Patient The patient is a…
The patient is a forty-six-year-old man with a history of a bicuspid aortic valve. He underwent a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) two and a half years prior for symptomatic aortic stenosis at an outside hospital. He presented with increasing shortness of breath, fatigue, and lightheadedness. An echocardiogram identified severe prosthetic aortic valve stenosis with…
