Prof. Borger – EACTS 2021

In this image kit two different views of the access to the mitral valve are given.

In this digest, recent studies are reviewed to compare the long-term outcomes of repair and replacement for patients with degenerative mitral valve disease.

• View of the external back
• View of the top section
• View of the left atrium from outside
• View of the left ventricle outside

This state-of-the-art review covers the latest evidence on minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR), with a focus on clinical data and outcomes, pros & cons of this approach, access strategies, and technologies supporting MIAVR procedures. This state-of-the-art kit includes a full PDF digest and a set of PPT slides to be downloaded and free of use for your presentations and talks.

In this video, Prof. Perier demonstrates a standard P2 prolapse repair, including valve exposure and analysis, triangular resection, and ring annuloplasty. His endoscopic approach is also illustrated from incision strategy to visualization. Lots of tips & tricks, side comments, surgical & clinical insights… A great piece of education!

In this video, Prof. Perier describes the recorded case of a complex bileaflet prolapse treated via the endoscopic approach. During the case, Prof. Perier performs a triangular resection and indentation closure on the posterior leaflet, as well as a triangular resection and a gore-tex application on the anterior leaflet. A very complete case demonsrating a wealth of techniques!
