Recovery following the neonatal Norwood procedure is often complicated by bleeding, acute kidney injury, systemic inflammatory response, and low cardiac function [1]. The traditional conduct of this operation under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest likely exacerbates...
Repair of aortic coarctation in infants and small children is associated with high rates of reintervention due to recurrent coarctation and other aortic pathologies [1]. Use of a curved, geometrically...
Objective: To demonstrate an innovative technique for hypoplastic arch reconstruction in children beyond infancy. Methods: The operation was performed via a median sternotomy. A Gore-Tex graft was sewn onto the...
This video demonstrates a surgical technique for repairing a left pulmonary artery sling.
...This video demonstrates a novel Norwood reconstruction method performed while maintaining a beating heart. By providing continuous coronary perfusion via an olive-tip cannula throughout the duration of the operation, the...
Operative repair for anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) has been described using various innovative techniques. Common to each report is the use of a full sternotomy. As...
This video demonstrates the subtotal resection of a large intramyocardial cardiac fibroma in the free wall of the right ventricle. The fibroma was intimately associated with the light coronary artery....
