Aortic valve repair for insufficiency is sometimes limited by deficient leaflet tissue. During the past two years, the authors have been using autologous aortic wall as a leaflet substitute, with great success. This video provides an early introduction to this technique, serving as a preliminary step to long-term follow-up studies.

The Apple Vision Pro system was used for the first time in the world to support decision-making during an endoscopic mitral valve repair procedure. The system gave surgeons the ability to consult and share images with gestures during the procedure, which enabled better identification of the exact margins of the resection of the posterior leaflet. The potential for online consultation and teaching was verified during the case.
