This video demonstrates a patient with a failed MitraClip placement on the tricuspid valve, which led to severe tricuspid regurgitation, heart failure, and a dilated mitral annulus that required repair. The procedure included the removal of the MitraClip and the placement of an Abbott valve in the tricuspid position.

Yacoub's aortic root remodeling procedure has been recognized for its efficacy in avoiding anticoagulation issues and preserving aortic dynamics, with recent modifications enhancing the neo-aortic sinuses and sinotubular junction. This video demonstrates the Yacoub II procedure for acute aortic dissection.
