This video demonstrates the reasons for the failure of the repair of a mitral valve and how these issues were addressed, along with diagrammatic descriptions of how the mitral valve should close.

This video presents an extended thymectomy with en bloc left upper lobectomy using a combined video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and sternotomy approach.
January 14, 2026
This video demonstrates a technique involving the combined Mustard and en bloc rotation of the outflow tracts in a seven-year-old child with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary valve stenosis in a redo setting.

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

The UK Mini Mitral Trial compared minimally invasive (Mini) mitral valve repair (MVr) to conventional sternotomy in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation. The primary objective was to assess physical function (PF) recovery, using the Short Form 36-Item Health Survey, version 2 (SF-36v2) PF scale 12 weeks post-surgery.

This video demonstrates the management plan for anomalous right coronary arteries and their treatment in a patient who also has mitral valve prolapse, performed via hemisternotomy.
November 17, 2025
This video demonstrates the repositioning of an anomalous right coronary artery.
November 10, 2025
This video demonstrates a surgical procedure for correcting an anomalous right coronary artery.

This video demonstrates a redo sternotomy for aortic regurgitation, mitral valve replacement, and revision of a calcified graft in a patient with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting and transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
