چکیده

BACKGROUND There is no current acceptable approach for intracardiac beating-heart interventions. We have adapted real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography with specialized instrumentation to facilitate beating-heart repair of atrial septal defects and mitral valve plasty to investigate the feasibility of real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography-guided cardiac surgery. METHODS In experiment I a modified real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography system with x4 matrix transducer was compared with 2-dimensional echocardiography in the performance of common surgical tasks. Completion times, deviation from an ideal trajectory, and an echogenic target were measured. In experiment II porcine atrial septal defects were closed with an original semiautomatic suturing device (n = 4) and with a 5-mm endoscopic stapler and a pericardial or polytetrafluoroethylene patch (n = 4). In experiment III a pulsatile porcine mitral valve model was developed, and suture placement through the anterior and posterior mitral leaflets was performed (n = 8). During all experiments, the operator was blinded to the target and operated on only with ultrasonic guidance. RESULTS In experiment I, compared with 2-dimensional echocardiographic guidance, completion times improved by 21% ( P <.01) with high-trajectory accuracy, and suture deviation was significantly smaller (2-dimensional echocardiography, 5.4 +/- 2.7 mm; 3-dimensional echocardiography, 1.7 +/- 0.7 mm; P <.05) in real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography-guided tasks. In experiments II and III in both atrial septal defect closure and mitral valve plasty, real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography provided satisfactory images and sufficient anatomic detail for suturing and patch deployment. All surgical tasks were successfully performed with accuracy. CONCLUSIONS Real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography provides adequate imaging and anatomic detail to act as a sole guide for surgical task performance. These initial experiments demonstrate the feasibility of beating-heart direct or patch closure of atrial septal defects and mitral valve plasty without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Beating atrial septal defect closure monitored by epicardial real-time three-dimensional echocardiography without cardiopulmonary bypass.

BACKGROUND We assessed the feasibility of beating atrial septal defect (ASD) closure monitored by real-time 3D echocardiography (RT3DE). METHODS AND RESULTS RT3DE was developed with prototype ultrasound equipment consisting of a high-speed 3D rendering unit with a frame rate of 5 to 10 frames/s. We also developed a prototype semiautomatic suture device and suture cutting system. In the experi...

Beating heart mitral valve repair for a patient with previous coronary bypass: a case report and review of the literature

Mitral valve reoperation, through a median sternotomy, for a patient with patent coronary bypass grafts is technically challenging and carries higher postoperative morbidity and mortality than a primary operation. We present a case of mitral valve repair using a beating heart technique under normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass that was performed 3 years after a coronary artery bypass operation....

Off-Pump Repair of a Post Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Defect

Refractory cardiogenic shock meant that traditional patch repairs requiring cardiopulmonary bypass would be poorly tolerated and external sandwich closure of post myocardial ventricular septal defect (VSD) appears to be simple and effective after initial myocardial infarction (MI). The three cases presented with a VSD after of acute MI with or without thrombolysed with streptokinase during pati...

Three-dimensional echo-guided suture of atrial septal defect with Maniceps in an experimental model.

Toward the establishment of suture closure procedures for atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale under guidance of three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography but without use of cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump surgery), an experimental study was conducted using a laparoscopic suture instrument, Maniceps. First, the panel setting of the 3D echo system which was optimal for precisely visualizi...
