This video demonstrates the technique of the "Commando procedure." Reconstruction of the aortomitral fibrous body for invasive double valve endocarditis is a technically challenging operation. It includes aortic valve or root replacement and mitral valve replacement, along with reconstruction of the aortomitral fibrous body.

Excellent! The procedure is also known as UFO Operation.
Nice presentation, i have done this once. I t follows from the superior transeptal approach to the mitral valve. Many suture lines, long clamp times, and a long night for everybody involved….great job….
Great video. I usually run the mitral sewing cuff to the bovine pericardial patch with a running prolene. Helps speed things up.
Thank you…excellent
