Abstract
Minimally invasive techniques for cardiac surgery are a new approach in performing some cardiac operations. Minimally invasive surgery may minimize patient discomfort, length of stay in the hospital and postoperative rehabilitation. These procedures utilize a small thoracotomy for direct visualization of the heart. However, without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, this approach is limited to some epicardial procedures such as coronary bypass grafting, where the heart rate is pharmacologically reduced. Port-access cardiac surgery is a new approach which provides all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery without sacrificing the advantages of cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial preservation. Port-access cardiac surgery uses an anterior mediastinotomy and thoracic ports in conjunction with a specially designed set of endovascular catheters. These catheters provide a mode to arrest, preserve and vent the heart through an endoaortic occlusion balloon positioned in the ascending aorta. A pulmonary artery vent and coronary sinus cardioplegia catheter can also be used. These endovascular catheters, integrated with a modified heart-lung machine, provide complete cardiopulmonary support through extrathoracic cannulae inserted in ...Continue Reading
