Cardiac Immobilization in Beating Heart Surgery Using Pericardial Bands
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel technique of stabilization of the coronary targets with autogenous pericardial bands is described in off pump coronary revascularizations. Pericardial bands are placed across the coronary targets and snared to the pericardial well for local cardiac immobilization. This technique can be used as an alternate to mechanical stabilizers for immobilization of the coronary targets.

Use of Carbon dioxide versus air blower in on-pump beating-heart coronary artery bypass surgery
Introduction: The use of carbon dioxide blower has been recognized as the standard of care in patients undergoing beating coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to higher solubility and lower risk of embolization. On the other hand, the compressed air blower has gone out of use since air can be easily trapped and is less soluble which can cause coronary embolism. The prese...
متن کاملPreliminary evaluation of a mobile robotic device for navigation and intervention on the beating heart.
This article describes the development and preliminary testing of a mobile robotic device to facilitate minimally invasive beating-heart intrapericardial intervention. The HeartLander robot will be introduced beneath the pericardium via subxiphoid incision, adhere to the epicardium, navigate to any location, and administer therapy under the control of the physician. As compared to current robot...
متن کاملOn-Pump Beating Coronary Artery Bypass in High Risk Coronary Patients
Background: There are some conflicting results with Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CCABG) with arrested heart in coronary high-risk patients. Moreover, performing off-pump CABG in these cases may be associated with serious complications. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the on-pump beating CABG (OPBCABG) in coronary high-risk patients in comparison with th...
متن کاملDevelopment and Preliminary Testing of a Mobile Robot for Cardiac Intervention
This report describes the development and preliminary testing of a mobile robotic device (HeartLander) to facilitate minimally invasive intervention on the beating heart. The HeartLander robot will be placed onto the surface of the heart through a port inserted below the sternum. It will then adhere to the heart surface, and under the control of the surgeon, navigate to any location to administ...
متن کاملPercutaneous subxiphoid access to the epicardium using a miniature crawling robotic device.
BACKGROUND : To expand minimally invasive beating-heart surgery, we have developed a miniature 2-footed crawling robot (HeartLander) that navigates on the epicardium. This paradigm obviates mechanical stabilization and lung deflation, and avoids the access limitations of current approaches. We tested the locomotion of the device on a beating porcine heart accessed through a closed-chest subxiph...
