This study reports on the port-access technique for cardiac surgery, highlighting its differences from traditional methods and emphasizing the need for enhanced team communication during procedures like coronary bypass graft and mitral valve surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Background:

  • The port-access technique offers a minimally invasive approach to open-heart procedures.
  • This technique utilizes specialized catheters for cardioplegia delivery and heart venting via a minithoracotomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the experience with the port-access technique at a Cardiosurgical Centre.
  • To describe the application of this technique in adult patients undergoing coronary bypass graft or mitral valve surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection from October 1997.
  • Utilized transesophageal echography and pressure traces for catheter placement and patient management.
  • Employed the Heartport EndoCPB system for extrathoracic cardiopulmonary bypass.

Main Results:

  • Sixty-two cases were successfully performed.
  • The study thoroughly presents the procedure, monitoring aspects, and encountered challenges.
  • Detailed outcomes for patients undergoing coronary bypass graft and mitral valve surgery were recorded.

Conclusions:

  • Port-access surgery differs from traditional methods by using an endovascular occlusive balloon instead of a transversal clamp for myocardial perfusion interruption.
  • Minimally invasive thoracic access via minithoracotomy is a key feature.
  • Effective integration and interpretation of monitored variables, along with tight cooperation between the surgical team (anesthesiologist, surgeons, perfusionist), are critical for successful outcomes.
