Optimal Port Placement in Robot-Assisted Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computer-based algorithm is being developed which, using preoperative images, provides the surgeon with a list of feasible port triplets ranked according to tool dexterity and endoscope view quality at each surgical site involved in a procedure. Computer simulation will allow the surgeon to select from among the proposed port locations. The procedure selected for the development of the system consists of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) take-down and bypass grafting. Human trials will begin within a month. Data collected from these trials will be used to validate the system.

Port placement planning in robot-assisted coronary artery bypass
Properly selected port sites for robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) improve the efficiency and quality of these procedures. In clinical practice, surgeons select port locations using external anatomic landmarks to estimate a patient's internal anatomy. This paper proposes an automated approach to port selection based on a preoperative image of the patient, thus avoiding the need...

متن کامل3-D image guidance for minimally invasive robotic coronary artery bypass.
BACKGROUND The introduction of a robot-assisted microsurgical system has made endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (ECABG) possible. Despite the success of this approach, surgeons still require better visualization tools for pre-surgical planning and intra-operative image guidance. Such visualization tools could, for example, assist in the placement of thoracic ports to acquire optimum ac...
متن کاملPredicting Target Vessel Location for Improved Planning of Robot-Assisted CABG Procedures
Prior to performing a robot-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting procedure, a pre-operative computed tomography scan is used to assess patient candidacy and to identify the location of the target vessel. The surgeon then determines the optimal port locations to ensure proper reach to the target with the robotic instruments, while assuming that the heart does not undergo any significant chan...
متن کاملHigh-risk Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Mitral Valve Replacement in a HIV Positive Patient
Certain subsets of high-risk mitral valve patients are not suitable candidates for transcatheter therapies. The objective of this report is to present a young patient with combined mitral valve and coronary artery disease to illustrate these challenges.In this report, we present a 47-year-old man with longstanding HIV infection who was referred with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and profound...
