Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

532
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement (TE-AVR) remains a challenging procedure with limited reported series.
  • Advancements in endoscopic technology are crucial for expanding minimally invasive cardiac surgery options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of TE-AVR using a three-dimensional (3D) endoscope.
  • To compare TE-AVR outcomes with the transaxillary approach.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-port technique was employed in the right antero-lateral chest, utilizing a 4 cm skin incision without rib spreaders.
  • A 3D endoscope was inserted on the mid-axillary line, and a 5 mm trocar was used for instrument access.
  • Sutures were tied externally using a knot-pusher in 106 TE-AVR cases.

Main Results:

  • TE-AVR demonstrated comparable rates of hospital death and Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) to the transaxillary approach.
  • Patients undergoing TE-AVR experienced significantly shorter postoperative hospital stays.
  • The 3-port endoscopic approach proved effective for TE-AVR, similar to techniques used in endoscopic mitral valve surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement is achievable through a minimally invasive, 3-port right antero-lateral chest approach.
  • The transaxillary approach is a suitable method for TE-AVR.
  • Standardizing the endoscopic approach for both mitral and aortic valve surgery facilitates seamless performance of endoscopic double valve procedures.
