Blood Flow Rates in Femoral Catheters
Every patient responds differently to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and has unique requirements depending on their body composition. One thing that cannot be compromised during CPB is blood flow. Adequate blood flow during cardiopulmonary bypass is extremely important to maintaining optimal perfusion during surgery and to help prevent post-operative complications such as brain injury. A 2015 […]
This Is The Suture Guide Cardiac Surgeons Want For Minimally Invasive Procedures
With progressive cardiac surgeries moving toward minimally invasive approaches, surgeons are using instruments specifically designed for these procedures. Instruments for minimally invasive surgeries can be smaller, have a lower-profile and accommodate a smaller incision. Read More
Reduce The Potential For Tissue Damage With The Surge PEAK Left Heart Vent Cannula
Cardiothoracic surgeons know the complications that can arise while venting the left heart during cardiopulmonary bypass. One of the common risks while inserting the cannula is tissue damage. Tissue damage and/or perforation can result in further complications during the healing process or even surgical intervention for repair. Read More
ALPINE Femoral Venous Cannulation Via Percutaneous Insertion
Minimally invasive valve surgery is a rapidly growing field that, in many situations, is outpacing open techniques. These minimally invasive approaches, in addition to re-do cardiac operations and ECMO, require femoral venous cannulation. The type of cannulae surgeons insert and the method in which they do it (cutdown versus percutaneous) can make all the difference […]
Extended Length Antegrade Cardioplegia Cannula: Product Solutions For Minimally Invasive Techniques
The most widely used method of delivering cardioplegia to the myocardium is via antegrade cardioplegia cannulae. Minimally invasive techniques, with emphasis on MiMVR, require the antegrade cannula body to be extended in length, as the approach is via peripheral access by right lateral thoracotomy. Read More
Just How Important a Clean Surgical Field Can Be
Coronary blood flow frequently compromises a clear view of the opened coronary vessel. Visibility is crucial during coronary suturing and throughout cardiovascular procedures. Two features are important during off-pump surgery, proper visualization of the anastomosis site regarding blood flow and prevention of endothelial damage. A bloodless surgical field can be created by using humidified carbon […]
The Importance of Quality in Peripheral Catheter Insertion
Peripheral vascular catheter-related infections are concerns of healthcare professionals when accessing the patient blood path operating in cardiovascular surgeries. There are many complications that can arise when doing peripheral insertions including catheter fragmentation resulting in a guidewire embolism, hemorrhages, thrombosis and central line associated bloodstream infection. These and many more complications are concerns which healthcare […]
Cold-Hearted Heart
“You are cold hearted,” is taking on a whole new meaning. On July 11, 2018, Pakistani driver Mohamed Riaz was the first patient to have the latest cryo-technology used on his heart, during open heart surgery. Doctors in Pakistan used the cryo-technology to destroy faulty conductors in the heart of Mr. Riaz. These faulty heart […]
