Valve repair has been shown to be a valuable alternative to valve replacement in mitral valve endocarditis. Yet the result of the repair depends on the experience of the surgical team and the extent of the valve damage. Valve repair should be preferred when technically feasible, but caution must be exercised to assess its absolute superiority in comparison to valve replacement.

Can you believe it’s already July? To celebrate 2022's halfway mark, we’ve rounded up six of the most popular in the cardiac specialty videos published so far this year.
June 28, 2022
This is a case of an eight-month-old boy with double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and l-malposed great arteries who underwent complete repair via a trans-right atrial approach. An intraventricular tunnel is created using the curved part of a 14 mm Hemashield tube graft.

The case of median arcuate ligament (MAL) release in a patient who developed MAL syndrome following motorcycle trauma seventeen years prior.
June 23, 2022
It’s already halfway through 2022. To celebrate, we’ve rounded up the six most popular thoracic videos published so far this year.
June 21, 2022
Joel Dunning’s initial impressions on uniportal thoracic robotic surgery.
June 14, 2022
This video presents a uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery left lower posterobasal anatomic segmentectomy S10. The segmentectomy uses the inferior approach, which is less difficult technically because it avoids the fissure dissection of the bronchovascular elements. When the fissure is incomplete, this inferior approach is the best approach.
June 13, 2022
This video demonstrates a completely endoscopic transareolar complex mitral valve reconstruction in the setting of infective endocarditis with late presentation.
June 8, 2022
This video and text describe the utility and technique of a totally robotic-assisted pulmonary resection with concomitant left atrial appendage ligation.
June 7, 2022
This video presents the clinical case of atrial septal defect patch repair via right axillary minithoracotomy with central cannulation for CPB and induced artificial ventricular fibrillation.
