Video-assisted pericardioscopic surgery: refinement of a new technique for implanting epimyocardial pacemaker leads.
OBJECTIVE Current alternative approaches for pacemaker lead implantation imply the breach of the pleural space. Recently, the feasibility of experimental lead implantation by rigid endoscopy has been described. The use of flexible endoscopes and a standardised application has not been realised yet. Our main goal was to compare rigid and flexible endoscopy and to establish a standardised protoco...
متن کاملComparison of tools and techniques for implanting pacemaker leads on the ventricular mid-septum.
INTRODUCTION Many physicians target the interventricular septum for pacemaker implantation, but the lead may inadvertently end up in an anterior position. AIMS We sought to compare two stylet shapes to achieve mid-septal lead placement, as well as the utility of a novel right anterior oblique (RAO) fluoroscopic landmark. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients undergoing pacemaker implantation were en...
متن کاملStandardization of video-assisted cardiac surgery technique: initial experience.
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive cardiac surgery has been performed in major worldwide centers, including procedure such as valves, coronary and congenital surgery. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate our first works with noninvasive cardiac surgery by mean of the experience gained with general and thoracic surgery. METHODS Whenever possible to carry out a minimally invasive cardiac surgery, this was t...
متن کاملMinimal invasive surgery in head and neck: video-assisted technique.
The recent advent of endoscopic procedures has compelled plastic surgeons to reconsider the conventional methods by which the excision of different types of head and neck tumors are classically achieved. Endoscopic resection is a safe and minimally invasive approach and spares unnecessary discomfort to the patient. This article describes the authors' method for performing a video-assisted surge...
متن کاملVideo assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Video assisted thoracoscopy is now a well established technique in the armamentarium of the thoracic surgeon. Jacobaeus is credited with the technique of thoracoscopy and the first clinical application dates from 1913. He performed adhesiolysis to enhance pneumothorax therapy of tuberculosis via a cystoscope introduced into the pleural cavity. Before the 1990s thoracoscopic surgery was restrict...
