  • Tricento transcatheter heart valve implantation in a redo setting for the treatment of torrential tricuspid valve regurgitation
    Item type: Educational Material
    Van Praet, Karel M.; Kukucka, Marian; Kofler, Markus; et al. (2021)
    Multimedia Manual of Cardiothoracic Surgery
    Surgery on the tricuspid valve is well established in specialized centers because tricuspid valve insufficiency is frequently encountered and is often functional in nature. With the increasing adoption of catheter-based treatments, there is a growing interest in and need for interventional treatments for tricuspid valve insufficiency. The Tricento heart valve is a gentle, less invasive, catheter-based treatment option for patients not suited for surgery who are receiving optimized medical treatment.
  • Minimally invasive surgical aortic valve replacement via a partial upper ministernotomy
    Item type: Educational Material
    Van Praet, Karel M.; Nersesian, Gaik; Kukucka, Marian; et al. (2022)
    Multimedia Manual of Cardiothoracic Surgery
    Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement has become a feasible approach to treat various aortic valve pathologies with limited procedural trauma. Several minimally invasive aortic valve replacement approaches with different levels of complexity and technical requirements are currently available.
  • HeartWare to HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device exchange via a left lateral thoracotomy
    Item type: Educational Material
    Nersesian, Gaik; Montagner, Matteo; Lanmueller, Pia; et al. (2022)
    Multimedia Manual of Cardiothoracic Surgery
    A continuous-flow left ventricular assist device implant is a well-established therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. Currently, the HeartMate 3 device is the only commercially available durable left ventricular assist device. Therefore, patients on HeartWare HVAD support who require a pump exchange must have a HeartMate 3 implanted.
  • Minimally invasive surgical aortic valve replacement through a right anterolateral thoracotomy
    Item type: Educational Material
    Van Praet, Karel M.; van Kampen, Antonia; Kofler, Markus; et al. (2020)
    Multimedia Manual of Cardiothoracic Surgery
    In the field of minimally invasive surgical aortic valve replacement, the right anterolateral minithoracotomy is an approach that offers very limited procedural trauma. Our method of right anterolateral minithoracotomy uses femoral percutaneous cannulation, a high-definition thoracoscope and a transthoracic cross-clamp. It allows a minimized skin incision and full preservation of the sternum, sternocostal cartilages, and ribs. The patient we present in this video tutorial is a low-risk male with severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis. We provide detailed insight into our preoperative planning and step-by-step guidance throughout the right anterolateral minithoracotomy aortic valve replacement procedure.
  • Standard Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
    Item type: Educational Material
    Van Praet, Karel M.; Nersesian, Gaik; Kukucka, Marian; et al. (2022)
    Multimedia Manual of Cardiothoracic Surgery
    The introduction of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure has revolutionized the standards of care in patients with aortic valve pathologies and has significantly increased the quality of the medical treatment provided. The durability and constant technical improvements in the modern transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure have broadened the indications towards younger patient groups with low-risk profiles. Therefore, transcatheter aortic valve implantation now represents an effective alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement in a large number of cases. Currently, various technical methods for the transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure are available. The contemporary transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure focuses on optimization of postoperative results and reduction of complications such as paravalvular leakage and permanent pacemaker implantation. Another goal of transcatheter aortic valve implantation is the achievement of a valid lifetime concept with secure coronary access and conditions for future valve-in-valve interventions.  In this case report, we demonstrate a standard transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure with a self-expandable supra-annular device, one of the most commonly performed methods.
  • A reimplantation valve-sparing root replacement (T. David-V) and aortic valve repair procedure in a patient with Marfan syndrome
    Item type: Educational Material
    Van Praet, Karel M.; Stamm, Christof; Kofler, Markus; et al. (2020)
    Multimedia Manual of Cardiothoracic Surgery
    Valve-sparing aortic root replacement using the reimplantation technique (T. David-V operation) has become the gold standard in patients with annuloaortic ectasia, given that the aortic valve is morphologically intact or repairable. The benefits of preserving the native aortic valve extend beyond avoiding the inconvenience and complications of prolonged exposure to anticoagulants. This video tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to the T. David-V procedure in a male patient with Marfan syndrome, annuloaortic ectasia, and moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation.
  • The circle method for preoperative TAVI sizing in a Sievers type 0 stenotic bicuspid aortic valve
    Item type: Educational Material
    Van Praet, Karel M.; Kukucka, Marian; Kofler, Markus; et al. (2021)
    Multimedia Manual of Cardiothoracic Surgery
    The most common congenital cardiac anomaly, affecting an estimated 0.4-2.25% of the general population, is the bicuspid aortic valve. The "pure" bicuspid aortic valve (non-raphe-type or bicuspid aortic valve type 0) is composed of 2 cusps, morphologically and functionally. The shape of the bicuspid aortic valve annulus is often elliptical, is relatively larger than the tricuspid aortic valves, and probably shows severe eccentric calcification. This situation contributes to the difficulties in selecting the correct type and size of transcatheter heart valve when treating bicuspid aortic valve stenosis. Furthermore, it is often associated with a dilated, horizontal ascending aorta and effaced sinuses. The goal of our video tutorial is to present the contemporary circle method used in preoperative sizing during TAVI procedures in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve as well as certain technical considerations and useful advice. Although annular sizing is the main focus for most patients with a bicuspid aortic valve, some patients may need the supra-annular level of sizing. For a dedicated sizing and positioning approach for the SAPIEN 3 Ultra valve, experts in the field propose the circle method.
