Technical Tips for Three Congenital Heart Operations: Modified Ross-Konno Procedure, Optimal Ventricular Septal Defect Exposure by Tricuspid Valve Incision, Coronary Unroofing and Endarterectomy for Anomalous Aortic Origin of the Coronary Artery

摘要

The phrase in my experience, which is usually followed by a litany of seemingly profound and erudite assertions, ought to be accompanied by carefully analyzed data or be relegated to the categories of conclusions based on selective memory.Generally, medical students, residents, or young attending physicians/surgeons are wary of this phrase and politely cast an appropriate, silent, skeptical, and disguised look at the orator. Yet, when we attend specialized surgical meetings, we listen attentively to select colleagues who suggest various nuances of surgical techniques, oftentimes without measurements, based on memory, and sometimes without representative drawings. These sessions have helped us learn new operations and have been some of the greatest educational experiences of our professional lives.
