Take a look at the top heart and vascular videos distributed by BroadcastMed:
EVAR Surgery (Percutaneous Endovascular Aneurysm Repair)
Dr. Shahab Toursavadkohi, or Dr. Tour for short, performed a percutaneous EVAR surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center. This minimally-invasive procedure repairs aneurysms through veins in the groin without any incisions and allows patients to return home the same day as the procedure. View the video here.
Blood Pressure Measurement in Children
Dr. Carissa Baker-Smith is a pediatric cardiologist and lead author on the American Pediatric Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for diagnosing and treating high blood pressure in children. In this video, she uses an appropriate technique to measure blood pressure in children at the University of Maryland Medical Center. While this is not a surgical video, it does provide valuable insight into the most effective method of evaluating blood pressure in young patients. View the video here.
Thoracoscopic Wedge Resection of Upper Lobe
See how Dr. Raffaele Marchigiani performs a video-assisted thoracic surgery. The video focuses on an 83-year-old male patient with prior skin cancer on his scalp, a recurring lump on his neck, and a nodule on his lung. Dr. Marchigiani uses a conservative approach and a definitive treatment for the patient's head and neck cancer. The more conservative approach was based on the patient's age, pulmonary function, and recovery time. View the video from Sentara Surgery Specialists here.
Acute Pulmonary Embolism—Massive PE—IR Perspective
The third leading cause of cardiovascular mortality in the U.S. is acute pulmonary embolism. Massive PE, an especially life-threatening form of the disease, has a high mortality risk of up to 65%. Dr. Pavan Kavali, a Washington University interventional radiologist at Barner-Jewish Hospital, carefully screens patients that can benefit from catheter-directed thrombectomy/thrombolysis.

Live Case: Cryo Ablation for Paroxysmal AFib
Dr. Mark Metzl is the Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology at NorthShore University HealthSystem. In this live surgery, Dr. Metzl performs Cryo Ablation on a 55-year-old patient to treat paroxysmal AFib. View the video here.
AngioVac Procedure: Treatment for Deep Venous Thrombosis
The AngioVac device is an alternative to therapies that treat venous thromboembolism. It facilitates the en bloc removal of fresh, soft thrombi or emboli and can be used on a range of areas from the neck to the groin. Dr. Mohamed Zayed, Washington University vascular surgeon at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, provides an overview of this procedure. View the discussion here.
VATS Thymectomy
Dr. Raffaele Marchigiani is a cardiothoracic and thoracic surgeon with Sentra Surgery Specialists. In this video, he discusses surgery in the mediastinum—specifically removing the thymomas via thymectomy. In many cases, these growths are benign. View the video here.
Aortobifemoral Bypass
Dr. Maham Rahimi and Dr. Travis Vowels perform an aortobifemoral bypass at Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center. The 71-year-old patient is a smoker who presented with right leg rest pain. View the procedure here.
ECMO
This well-known technology that was previously only used in the operating room is now used to keep critically ill cardiac patients stable enough to receive treatment. Dr. David Baran discusses the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for this purpose at Sentara Hospital. View the discussion here.
Robotic Mitral Valve Repair
More heart procedures are being performed with minimally invasive techniques, including robotic heart surgery. Mitral valve repair and replacement is a traditionally highly invasive procedure that can now be performed robotically at Yale. Currently, Yale is the only location offering robotic mitral valve surgery. In this video, Dr. Arnar Geirsson operates robotic arms as the medical team monitors the patient. View the robotic surgery here.
