Abstract:
Our group has previously described how dedicated practice outside the operating room can improve surgical technique and enhance intraoperative performance. We have also recently developed a "do-it-yourself" simulator made from inexpensive, easily obtainable materials to practice a variety of operative scenarios in cardiac surgery. This video tutorial demonstrates our Coronary Anastomosis Module, which is designed for practice of both distal and proximal coronary anastomoses.
