    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Improving surgical access during complex cardiac procedures like mitral valve repair is critical.
    • Current methods for enhancing exposure, such as annular traction, carry significant risks of complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel needle holder designed to overcome challenges in mitral valve surgery.
    • To facilitate precise suture placement in difficult-to-access intracardiac environments.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and conceptualization of a specialized needle holder.
    • Application in simulated or actual intracardiac procedures requiring difficult access.

    Main Results:

    • The designed needle holder aids in managing sutures during challenging mitral valve operations.
