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.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of the surgical procedure for robotic-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting.
January 9, 2026
This video demonstrates a new approach for thymic pathologies using a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with CO₂ insufflation technique.
January 7, 2026
This video demonstrates a technique for minimally invasive beating heart total arterial coronary bypass surgery via left thoracotomy.
January 6, 2026
This video demonstrates that robotic left secondary carinal resection and reconstruction are best performed using an anterolateral approach, which ensures optimal visibility for both resection and reconstruction, as well as clear margins on histopathology.

This study from the Mini-Mitral International Registry (2015-2021) compared endo-aortic balloon occlusion (EABO) to transthoracic clamping (TTC) in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. After propensity matching 733 pairs from 6,884 patients, EABO showed significantly lower rates of conversion to sternotomy, although it was associated with longer
