CTSNet Step-by-Step Series: AVR Valve Excision and Debridement

This video takes the viewer through the initial steps of an aortic valve replacement, after the patient has been placed on cardiopulmonary bypass. Anatomical diagrams help to demonstrate the anatomical concepts surrounding these steps, which would otherwise be rather difficult to conceptualize for those not trained to do so.
