Area of Science:

  • Cardiac Surgery
  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Visual inspection of atrioventricular valves is crucial for assessing cardiac function.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in evaluating valve function in a beating heart.
  • The mitral and tricuspid valves play vital roles in maintaining unidirectional blood flow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a safe and effective technique for the visual inspection of atrioventricular valves.
  • To enable real-time assessment of valve function in a beating, loaded ventricle.
  • To provide a method for evaluating both mitral and tricuspid valve integrity.

Main Methods:

  • A technique involving reestablishing heartbeat with a cross-clamped aorta and venting air.

  • Ventricular filling via an arterial return line through a 6-mm tube.
  • Snaring the pulmonary artery to facilitate right ventricle filling for tricuspid valve assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • The described technique allows for safe visual inspection of atrioventricular valve function.
    • The method is applicable to both the left (mitral) and right (tricuspid) ventricles.
    • The beating, loaded, non-ejecting ventricle model facilitates functional valve assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel technique offers a reliable approach for intraoperative atrioventricular valve evaluation.
    • The method enhances the ability of surgeons to assess valve function in real-time.
    • This technique contributes to improved patient outcomes in cardiac surgery.
