Transesophageal echocardiography or fluoroscopy during port-access surgery?
INTRODUCTION In Port-Access cardio-surgical procedures, both intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and fluoroscopy can be used for placement of the catheters and cannulae needed for cardiopulmonary bypass. Our study sought to clarify whether it is possible to rely exclusively on TEE for catheter placement without increasing the risk for the patient. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty...
متن کاملMinimally invasive port-access mitral valve surgery.
OBJECTIVES This study evaluates the feasibility of video-assisted minimally invasive mitral valve surgery by means of the Port-Access system. The aim of the study was to minimize surgical access and to develop a video-assisted surgical technique. METHODS The Port-Access system allows for closed chest endoluminal aortic clamping, cardioplegic arrest, and decompression of the heart. The mitral ...
متن کاملA lethal tension pneumothorax during minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery: Can transesophageal echocardiography pick it?
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is establishing itself as the standard of care across the world. MICS CABG is currently performed in only a few centers. Hemodynamics disturbances are peculiar during MICS CABG due to space constraints. We report a 70-year-old man who underwent MICS CABG who developed tension pneumothorax during revascularization that was diagnosed in a novel way.
متن کاملExploring the umbilical and vaginal port during minimally invasive surgery
This article focuses on the anatomy, literature, and our own experiences in an effort to assist in the decision-making process of choosing between an umbilical or vaginal port. Umbilical access is more familiar to general surgeons; it is thicker than the transvaginal entry, and has more nerve endings and sensory innervations. This combination increases tissue damage and pain in the umbilical po...
متن کاملPerfusion during coronary and mitral valve surgery utilizing minimally invasive Port-Access technology.
Minimally invasive surgery has been used in the treatment of some cardiovascular diseases. Port-Access surgery is a new minimally invasive technique that utilizes cardiopulmonary by-pass and a specialized catheter system that provides cardiopulmonary support and myocardial preservation. Extrathoracic cardiopulmonary support is established with femero-femoral bypass with kinetic assisted venous ...
