This video demonstrates a uniportal non-intubated VATS lobectomy in an elderly patient with a lower left lobe tumor.
November 17, 2014
This video illustrates the technique used to repair an aortic dissection with a tear involving the aortic root contiguous with the right coronary artery (RCA). In addition to the dissection repair, an aortic root replacement and a jump graft to the RCA are performed.

This video illustrates a technique for glutaraldehyde-fixed autologous leaflet replacement for aortic valve reconstruction, including bicuspid and tri-leaflet valve reconstruction methods.
November 5, 2014
This video presents the options available when a patient has greater-than-mild aortic insufficiency at the time of LVAD placement, and demonstrates the performance of a Parks’ stitch.
November 3, 2014
This case describes a 74-year-old woman whose routine coronary bypass graft surgery was complicated with the rare and potentially lethal aortic root and left main dissection. The authors show how disaster for this patient was averted using a simple surgical technique.
