The authors performed a beating-heart closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD) with a two-layer patch attached to the right atrium. This technique is indicated for repairing any type of secundum atrial septal defects, which are not often considered amenable to transcatheter closure and are referred for surgery.

For most surgeons, aortic annulus enlargement is considered too expensive to justify implanting a prosthesis that is only one size larger, and as a result, it is rarely used. This video demonstrates the surgical enlargement of the aortic annulus using a balloon catheter, which is a simple and innovative technique that combines the knowledge and experience of both TAVR and SAVR. This method allows for the implantation of a larger prosthesis without increasing surgical time or the risk of bleeding.

When a surgery is well planned and the correct sequence of steps is followed, harvesting a skeletonized bilateral mammary artery through a minithoracotomy can be accomplished safely with good outcomes. This video is a step-by-step demonstration of how to harvest a skeletonized BIMA in MIDCAB. It placed third in the CTSNet 2024 Innovation Video Competition.

This video demonstrates a novel minimally invasive surgical technique combining coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and mitral valve replacement through a single left anterior minithoracotomy in a 74-year-old patient with severe cardiovascular issues. Watch this video, which placed second in the CTSNet 2024 Innovation Video Competition now.

This video demonstrates a novel mitral valve patch technique utilizing a pericardial patch that safely and effectively treats severe mitral annular calcification in patients, regardless of the surgeon’s experience. It is the must-see first-place winner of the CTSNet 2024 Innovation Video Competition.
