Transaxillary Approach for Valve Surgery - I Like It! In this case, a 44-year-old male underwent MV and TV repair. The visualization was perfect. But there’s not enough space to show the visualization properly through a phone camera. I plan to implement headcamera soon. 😉

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair with adjustable chords

Last day to submit late-breaking clinical trial abstracts! ⏰ Deadline is 15th August. Chance to present findings at the 38th EACTS Annual Meeting

Post-MI VSD: visualization via left anterior thoracotomy compared with TCRAT-CABG. LIMA to LAD, Ao - SVG - D1 - SVG - OM. The VSD was repaired using the infarct exclusion technique, described by David. Operated by Oleksandr @Babliak #TCRAT, #CABG, #VSD, #minimallyinvasive

A 34-year-old woman had a unicuspid AV with severe insufficiency and an ascending aorta measuring 46mm. A 5cm skin incision was made for anterior thoracotomy in the 2nd ICS. We performed an aortic valve replacement with a 25mm mechanical valve and a 28mm vascular prosthesis.

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery in a 1-year-old child: Mitral valve repair performed through a 3 cm transaxillary approach. Operated by Oleksandr Oleksandr Babliak

Mitral valve with severe stenosis & left atrial appendage thrombectomy performed during minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.

Mitral Valve Surgery and CABG Through Left Anterior Thoracotomy! 51-year-old patient with a history of MI involving the circumflex artery, who presented with severe mitral valve insufficiency due to posterior leaflet tension.

This video presents a case of minimally invasive repair of the mitral valve (MV) and anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) in a 21-month-old female patient. Operated by Oleksandr Oleksandr Babliak . Visit CTSNet and view our full publication.

Right anterior minithoracotomy is an approach where we typically use fingers for aortic valve prosthesis suturing. To improve visualization during suturing, especially in patients with deep chests, a knot-pusher device is particularly helpful. #AorticValve #AVR #KnotPusher

Patient: 4 months old, 4.8 kg. Partial AV communication. Successful surgery performed using a minimally invasive transaxillary approach. Operated by Oleksandr Oleksandr Babliak.

A 63-year-old female. Peak gradient of 76 mmHg in the LVOT, with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation due to SAM. We performed a right anterior thoracotomy, which provided excellent visualization of the LVOT, a key reason we routinely use this approach. Oleksandr Babliak

Harvested LIMA through the left anterior minithoracotomy via the 4th intercostal space (ICS) for a TCRAT-CABG procedure. #TCRAT #CABG #LIMA #MinimallyInvasive
