Extracardiac repair versus intracardiac baffle repair of complex unroofed coronary sinus.

TL;DR: The extracardiac repair technique for complex unroofed coronary sinus, as opposed to the intra-atrial baffle repair, avoids creation of a small and low-compliance left- atrial compartment with the potential for development of pulmonary venous congestion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concept and first experimental results of a new ferromagnetic assist device for extra-aortic counterpulsation

TL;DR: Combining the advantages of magnetic elastomers with the principle of extra-aortic counterpulsation in a new assist device concept avoids the need for anticoagulation (no contact with bloodstream) and the magnetic principle of action is avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased Longevity and Pumping Performance of an Injection Molded Soft Total Artificial Heart.

TL;DR: An injection molded soft total artificial heart produced from high-temperature vulcanizing silicone using an industrial metal injection mold and was pumped continuously for 110,000 actuation cycles to find an optimized design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perspectives in endoscopic cardiac surgery

TL;DR: In 2005, a total of 2984 cardiac procedures were performed worldwide using the da Vinci system, which includes totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB), mitral valve repair (MVR) procedures, ASD closure and cardiac tissue ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI
