Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Medical Devices
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Aortocoronary bypass grafting is a standard treatment for ischemic heart disease.
  • Optimal visualization of coronary arteries is critical for successful surgical anastomosis, especially in procedures without cardioplegia or bypass support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel coronary artery clamp designed to enhance visualization during coronary artery surgery.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of this clamp in achieving a bloodless field for improved surgical precision.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of a specialized coronary artery clamp.
  • Utilization of the clamp in minimally invasive coronary artery operations.

Main Results:

  • The coronary artery clamp effectively facilitated better visualization of the target artery.
  • A bloodless field was successfully achieved, aiding in minimally invasive coronary artery operations.

Conclusions:

  • The presented coronary artery clamp is a valuable tool for improving visualization in coronary artery surgery.
  • Its use is particularly beneficial in minimally invasive procedures requiring a clear, bloodless surgical field for accurate anastomosis.
