CTSNet’s Top 5 Congenital Surgical Procedure Videos of 2022

This year was fruitful for congenital surgical procedure videos published on CTSNet. The most popular videos focused on a range of cardiac congenital conditions, from atrial septal defect repair to both Ross and commando procedures from CTSNet’s top congenital contributor, Dr. Sameh Said.

Thank you to everyone who submitted cardiac content this year. CTSNet is always seeking submissions of innovative and instructional adult cardiac surgery content to educate and connect the global CT surgery community. We encourage surgeons and allied health professionals to consider submitting in the new year.

Read on for a glance at each procedure and check out our full catalog of congenital surgical videos.
