This video demonstrates a left ventricular outflow tract enlargement using a Dacron patch.
May 5, 2025
In this video, Dr. Vince Gaudiani demonstrates how to perform a left ventricular outflow tract enlargement in a pig model.
April 29, 2025
This video demonstrates an aortic valve replacement and ascending aortic replacement through an upper ministernotomy.
April 28, 2025
This video demonstrates the Gaudiani technique for aortic valve replacement in a redo situation in a patient with previous prosthetic valve endocarditis.
April 22, 2025
In this video, Dr. Vince Gaudiani describes his technique for the placement of an On-X mechanical valve, which he considers to be the mechanical valve of choice in the modern era.
