Quadrangular resection is the gold standard technique for correction of the posterior leaflet prolapse in mitral valve disease. Prompted by the idea that the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve corresponds to the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve in its structure and function, we conducted a quadrangular resection of the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve in a case of tricuspid endocarditis. Tricuspid regurgitation was well corrected, and the durability of the repair was proven by the patient's freedom from cardiac events for the following 8 years.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the long-term outcomes of minimally invasive mitral valve repair (MIMVR) in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation, focusing on survival rates and recurrence of heart issues.
- It finds that all primary repair techniques (quadrangular resection, edge-to-edge repair, and artificial chordae implantation) show high survival rates over 1, 10, and 20 years, indicating the procedures are beneficial long-term.
- The study highlights that the quadrangular resection and edge-to-edge techniques have better outcomes for preventing moderate mitral regurgitation recurrence compared to artificial chordae, with low re-operation rates across all methods and pre-discharge residual issues predicting future repair failures.

Background: Some patients affected by mitral valve (MV) prolapse (MVP) are at higher risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), but the underlying pathogenesis, as well as the effects of surgery on VA, remain not fully understood. Mitral valve repair, however, represents a privileged point of view to deepen the understanding of arrhythmogenesis in this context. Hence, we report an interesting case of MV re-repair.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 42 brainstems were analyzed, revealing a significant increase in surgical exposure from 42 mm² to 159.6 mm² after QLC resection, aiding in procedures involving the pons and cerebellum.
- * After evaluating 59 patients who underwent this surgery, it was found that while some experienced temporary side effects like ataxia, all symptoms resolved within a year, and overall patient outcomes improved.
Extended autologous tracheal replacement by a novel pedicled thoraco-chondro-costal flap: a cadaveric proof of concept.

Objectives: Our aim was to report an anatomic model of an autologous flap based on the internal thoracic blood supply: the pedicled thoraco-chondro-costal flap; and establish the feasibility of various types of extended tracheal replacement with this novel flap, according to a newly proposed topographic classification.
Methods: In a cadaveric model, a cervicotomy combined with median sternotomy was performed. The incision was extended laterally to expose the chest wall.
