Minimally Invasive

October 16, 2025
This video demonstrates a patient who previously underwent mitral valve surgery and later received a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR); however, both the TAVR and the tricuspid valves became severely incompetent. 
October 15, 2025
This video demonstrates the removal of a four-year-old Evolute transcatheter aortic valve replacement and the placement of a 23 mm surgical aortic valve. 
October 15, 2025
This video demonstrates the successful surgical intervention of ascending aorta replacement in a patient following complications from a previously implanted Sapiens TAVR.
October 14, 2025
This video demonstrates the surgical management of a 77-year-old patient with streptococcus endocarditis following a previous transcatheter aortic valve replacement, necessitating an aortic root replacement.
October 14, 2025
This video demonstrates the urgent removal of a transcatheter aortic valve replacement due to a contained aortic annulus rupture and the subsequent repair using a Dacron patch.
October 13, 2025
This video demonstrates a redo surgical aortic valve replacement after the removal of both a valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement and a previous surgical aortic valve. 
October 9, 2025
This video demonstrates that Indocyanine Green fluorescence is a safe, affordable, and effective adjunct that expands access to minimally invasive surgery in resource-limited settings, enabling surgeons to deliver high-quality, equitable care.
October 7, 2025
This video demonstrates a novel technique combining video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and laparoscopy to repair a large diaphragmatic hernia.
October 2, 2025
This study analyzed data from the UK Mini Mitral trial, which compared recovery in patients undergoing either a sternotomy or a minimally invasive thoracoscopically-guided right minithoracotomy procedure for mitral valve repair, using wrist-worn triaxial accelerometers to track physical activity and sleep.
October 2, 2025
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated whether three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and virtual simulation improve outcomes in thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Ten studies (n=1,424; 772 3D vs 652 non-3D) were included.
