This video demonstrates an approach to addressing an anomalous right coronary artery originating from the left sinus of Valsalva during the Ross procedure.
Robotic Resection of Residual Mediastinal Germ Cell Tumor With Pulmonary and Pericardial Involvement
January 28, 2026
This video demonstrates a robotic surgical approach for the resection of a residual mediastinal non-seminomatous germ cell tumor, including partial pericardial resection and reconstruction with a tailored Dacron patch, achieving a non-visible tumor (R0) resection.

This video provides a description of the debranching of aortic arch vessels for a patient with an aortic arch aneurysm, followed by thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
January 20, 2026
This video demonstrates a lower lobe lung volume reduction surgery performed in a high-volume center, highlighting a standardized minimally invasive approach. It covers key technical steps including fissure avoidance, controlled stapling strategies, and sealant application, shown in a patient with prior chronic obstructive pulmonary disease endoscopic therapy.
January 19, 2026
This video presents an extended thymectomy with en bloc left upper lobectomy using a combined video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and sternotomy approach.
January 15, 2026
This video demonstrates the endovascular repair of the ascending aorta in a case of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection in a patient who was not a surgical candidate at the time of presentation. The authors discuss the operative planning considerations required for his eventual definitive open surgical repair, which became required after his course was complicated by a massive aortic pseudoaneurysm.
January 14, 2026
This video demonstrates a technique involving the combined Mustard and en bloc rotation of the outflow tracts in a seven-year-old child with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary valve stenosis in a redo setting.
January 13, 2026
This video demonstrates a robotic-assisted minimally invasive repair that successfully rerouted supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous return with concurrent atrial septal defect closure in a 26-year-old female. This case highlights the feasibility and technical advantages of using robotic techniques for complex congenital cardiac defects.
