Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Medical Device Technology
  • Patient Monitoring

Background:

  • Minimally invasive port-access cardiac surgery utilizes endovascular cardiopulmonary bypass.
  • Effective patient monitoring is essential for safety during these procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel method for monitoring patients and catheter systems during port-access cardiac surgery.
  • To assess the efficacy of an endoaortic clamp (EAC) and its monitoring techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized femoral cannulas for cardiopulmonary bypass in 25 patients.
  • Employed an endoaortic clamp (EAC) inserted via femoral artery, positioned using fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
  • Monitored EAC migration using TEE, carotid artery Doppler, balloon pressure, and aortic root pressure comparison.

Main Results:

  • TEE, fluoroscopy, and pressure measurements effectively monitored catheter insertion and position.
  • TEE detected EAC migration towards the aortic valve with inadequate inflation.
  • Loss of carotid Doppler flow indicated EAC migration into the aortic arch.

Conclusions:

  • An effective method for monitoring patients and catheter systems during port-access cardiac surgery has been developed.
  • The evaluated technique ensures stability and safety of the endoaortic clamp during the procedure.
