Mediastinal lipomas are benign, slow-growing masses that can present as large masses due to their insidious onset (1). Symptoms associated with these lipomas are generally due to mass effect, such as dysphagia, shortness of breath,...
Treating patients with both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and severe obesity can be challenging. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy alone can exacerbate GERD symptoms and can induce GERD in asymptomatic patients (1)....
The authors present their technique for axillary Impella 5.5 insertion. The preferred incision was made through the deltopectoral groove, where the axillary artery is more superficial and easier to access....
The authors present a 75-year-old woman with dyspnea on exertion. She was diagnosed with an aortic valve stenosis and moderate-to-severe mitral valve regurgitation due to a localized A2 prolapse. This...

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. In patients with a small pulmonary annulus, repair often requires a transannular patch, resulting in progressive pulmonary regurgitation and...
This video demonstrates video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomies, providing step-by-step instructional videos that dissect important structures in a library format, organized by each specific lobe. 1. Left Upper Lobectomy A left...
Pectus excavatum is the most common congenital chest wall deformity, and severe cases may require operative correction to improve both physiological and cosmetic outcomes. The authors present the case of...
The authors present a video demonstrating the double-inclusion Ross technique in a 36-year-old patient with severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis, aortopathy, and a significant mismatch between the aortic anulus/left ventricular...
Bronchogenic cysts are congenital foregut malformations that commonly arise within the mediastinum. Surgical resection is recommended due to risks of infection, compression of adjacent structures, and potential complications. Minimally invasive...
Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare but critical congenital anomaly that typically presents in infancy with myocardial ischemia and left ventricular dysfunction. Early surgical...
This video demonstrates the feasibility and step-by-step technique of performing a Bentall procedure through a right axillary minithoracotomy in an adult patient with aortic root aneurysm and aortic valve disease....
A 56-year-old woman with no significant past medical history presented with progressive dyspnea on exertion and intermittent back pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest demonstrated a markedly dilated main...
