Surgical Video Case Study
Barlow's Disease: Mitral Valve Repair with Limited De-calcification
In this video we show an example of a reconstruction of Barlow's valve disease in a patient that has calcification of the annulus. The key steps we'll show are a detachment of the leaflet with a targeted de-calcification of the annulus and then reconstruction of the posterior leaflet and finally ring annuloplasty.

- In this video we review a challenging case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with chest pain. We explore the role of Echo, CT, and MRI imaging, and highlight how surprising and dramatic results led to a diagnosis of a Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm (LVPA). Using excellent intraoperative surgical video, we also explore the best surgical approach to treating LVPA.
