Totally endoscopic pulmonary valve replacement.

A 68-year-old man with a history of valve-sparing aortic root replacement and endoscopic aortic valve replacement was admitted to our hospital with dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe pulmonary valve regurgitation. The patient had undergone cardiac surgery twice, through median sternotomy and right thoracotomy; therefore, we planned endoscopic pulmonary valve replacement the left thoracic approach.

A 60-year-old woman was admitted to our institution for exertional dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a 1.6 cm secundum atrial septal defect( ASD) and a 4.

Endoscopic-assisted descending aortic replacement through a small intercostal incision: a case report.

Background: Descending aortic replacement often involves making large incisions; thus, it results in massive invasions. We report the case of a patient with dilated descending aorta treated using endoscopic-assisted descending aortic replacement with essentially minimal invasions.

Case Presentation: We performed endoscopic-assisted descending aortic replacement with a single incision involving six wounds by trocar puncturing on a 59-year-old man who was diagnosed with dilated descending aorta by stent graft-induced new entry.
