In March 2023, the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in Great Britain and Ireland brought together surgeons from around the world to discuss topics in CT surgery. This recording covers the session on innovative mitral valve surgical techniques.

This article proposes a set of new techniques for mitral valve repair that employ a running suture rather than individual cords. They follow landmarks such as papillary muscle tips and free leaflet edge running and commissure so that there is little space left for guessing.

This is a groundbreaking article that, for the first time, compares port access mitral surgery with sternotomy in a randomized multicenter trial. It demonstrates benefits for surgery through a minimal access route and, most importantly, that it is as safe as open surgery.

This case demonstrates the feasibility of concomitant pectus excavatum repair with cardiac surgical intervention and illustrates the safety and efficacy of this combined approach.

During this Medtronic Global Grand Rounds discussion, Steven Bolling, M.D., Joanna Chikwe, M.D., Neal Duggal, M.D., Tom Nguyen, M.D., and Tessa Watt, M.D., demonstrate mitral valve repair techniques and discuss their use of chords. Dr. Duggal discusses the use of echo imaging to assist in surgical decision making.

This video demonstrates the use of the NeoChord DS1000 system, which is an innovative device that implants multiple sets of Gortex neochords onto the prolapsing segment of the posterior mitral valve leaflet through a minimally invasive approach without cardiopulmonary bypass.
