Purpose: We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of left atrial plication (LAP), particularly para-annular plication, using a right mini-thoracotomy approach.
Methods: Among 90 mitral valve repair (MVr) procedures performed at our institution between 2016 and 2023, 16 left atrial plication cases for left atrial enlargement (diameter: >50 mm) were assessed; nine cases underwent median sternotomy (conventional) (Group C), and seven cases underwent minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) (Group M). The surgical protocol involved mitral valve repair via a right-sided left atrial approach, incorporating para-annular plication to suture the posterior wall.

The retention of gauze within the mediastinum is considered an exceptional finding. We are presenting the case of a woman, affected by aorto-mitral valvulopathy, in whose mediastinum was found, during the autopsy, a gauzome without signs of active phlogosis, which had been "forgotten" in a previous surgery, acted 14 years before the death. A 39 y.

Objectives: Surgical management of invasive double-valve infective endocarditis (IE) involving the intervalvular fibrosa (IVF) is a technical challenge that requires extensive debridement followed by complex reconstruction. In this study, we present the early and mid-term outcomes of the hemi-Commando procedure and aortic root replacement with reconstruction of IVF using an aortomitral allograft.
Methods: From 2010 to 2017, 37 patients with IE involving the IVF underwent the hemi-Commando procedure.
