This year showcased an impressive variety of innovative clinical videos in cardiac surgery. The most popular videos covered a range of cardiac procedures, from robotic beating-heart totally endoscopic coronary bypass to how to perform an upper ministernotomy.  Read on for a glance at each procedure and be sure to explore the complete catalog of cardiac surgical videos [3] available on CTSNet. 
 
1.) Robotic Beating-Heart Totally Endoscopic Coronary Bypass (TECAB): LIMA to LAD [4] 

By Husam Balky [5], Sarah Nisivaco [6] 

The most popular video this year presents a successful robotic beating-heart totally endoscopic coronary bypass procedure involving a single vessel, specifically, the left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery in a 69-year-old patient with left anterior descending artery disease. 

2.) How to Replace a Severely Calcified Mitral Valve [7] 

By Vincent Gaudiani [8]  

Another popular video from this year provides a detailed demonstration of how to replace a severely calcified mitral valve, involving both the anterior and posterior leaflets. 

3.) How to Perform an Upper Ministernotomy [9] 

By Vincent Gaudiani [8]  

In another outstanding video by Dr. Vince Gaudiani, he demonstrates his technique for performing an upper ministernotomy.   

4.) Samurai (the Direct True Lumen Technique) Cannulation in Acute Type I Aortic Dissection [10] 

By Serik Aitaliyev [11], Dainius Karciauskas, Povilas Jakuska [12], Rimantas Benetis 

Next on the list is a video that shows direct ascending aorta true lumen cannulation is a fast, safe, and reproducible technique that provides adequate central antegrade flow through the true aortic lumen within two minutes of circulatory arrest. 

5.) Direct Aortic Impella 5.5 in Post-Cardiotomy Shock  [13]

By Anthony Zaki [14] 

Finally, this video reviews the basics of postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock and common mechanical circulatory support options while highlighting the benefits of the Impella 5.5 for left ventricular unloading. It also demonstrates a step-by-step technique for the direct aortic insertion of the Impella 5.5.
