Computer-Assisted Navigation on the Arrested Heart During CABG Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the standard treatment for advanced coronary artery diseases (CAD). Optimal placement of the bypass graft on the diseased vessel is very important. To assist the surgeon in this matter, a computer assistance system has been developed facilitating navigation on the heart surface. After retrospective validation on patient data sets yielded good results, the system was successfully applied for in-vivo navigation on the front side of the heart during several CABG procedures. Postoperative evaluation confirmed that intraoperative navigation has been performed with adequate accuracy.

Registration of cardiac MSCT and optical tracking data: Image-guided CABG at the arrested heart
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most commonly performed type of open heart surgery. For an effective revascularisation procedure, the positioning of the bypass graft (distal anastomosis) is of utmost importance. To assist the surgeon in this matter, a surgical navigation system for the open heart has been developed. Prior to surgery, the optimal distal anastomosis site is planned ...
متن کاملOn-Pump Beating Coronary Artery Bypass in High Risk Coronary Patients
Background: There are some conflicting results with Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CCABG) with arrested heart in coronary high-risk patients. Moreover, performing off-pump CABG in these cases may be associated with serious complications. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the on-pump beating CABG (OPBCABG) in coronary high-risk patients in comparison with th...

Computer-assistance in coronary artery bypass grafting at the open heart with intraoperative navigation enables accurate placement of a bypass graft to a preoperatively planned anastomosis site. So far, navigation information were displayed on a monitor, requiring the operating surgeon to change focus from the monitor to the surgical site and vice versa during the navigation process. In this wo...

OBJECTIVE Patient choice is now a major facet of health-care policy within the National Health Service. Our objective was to determine whether the patient would like to choose if the 'beating heart' technique or the 'arrested heart' technique is employed for their coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. METHODS We undertook a cross-sectional, self-reported questionnaire survey of patient...
متن کاملThe cost-effectiveness of computer-assisted navigation in total knee arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty is one of the most clinically successful and cost-effective interventions in medicine. However, implant malalignment, especially in the coronal plane, is a common cause of early failure following total knee arthroplasty. Computer-assisted surgery has been employed during total knee arthroplasty to improve the precision of component alignment. The purpose of th...
