This video demonstrates how Dr. Vince Gaudiani managed a patient with a mechanical aortic valve who developed an aorto-mitral abscess.
May 19, 2025
This video demonstrates a challenging redo operation for a patient who had a previous aortic valve replacement that was too small for him. The procedure required the removal of this valve, enlargement of the annulus, and patch repair of the dissociation between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Type A aortic dissection is a highly morbid condition, where the patient's effective circulating blood volume (ECBV) is one of many predictors of outcomes. The authors propose a new parameter titled “effective circulating volume fraction" that serves to be a more precise measurement of ECBV.
