Surgical Instrument For Stabilizing The Beating Heart During Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

View page
US Patent:
6346077, Feb 12, 2002
Filed:
Jan 27, 1997
Appl. No.:
08/789751
Inventors:
Charles S. Taylor - San Francisco CA
William N. Aldrich - Redwood City CA
Thomas L. Baughman - Cupertino CA
Federico J. Benetti - Santa Fe, AR
Brian J. Bennett - Menlo Park CA
Michael J. Billig - Cupertino CA
Thomas J. Fogarty - Portola Valley CA
John J. Frantzen - Copperopolis CA
Richard S. Ginn - San Jose CA
Robert C. Glines - Cameron Park CA

William F. Witt - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Cardiothoracic Systems, Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
A61B 132
US Classification:
600204, 600206, 600210, 600235
Abstract:
The invention is methods and devices which a surgeon may use to stabilize the beating heart during a surgical procedure on the heart. Pursuant to the invention, a stabilizing device is introduced through an opening in the chest and brought into contact with the beating heart. By contacting the heart with the device and by exerting a stabilizing force on the device, the motion of the heart caused by the contraction of the heart muscles is effectively eliminated such that the heart is stabilized and the site of the surgery moves only minimally if at all. Typically, in separate steps, the surgeon contacts the heart with the stabilizing means, assesses the degree of movement of the anastomosis site, and exerts a force on the stabilizing means such that the contraction of the beating heart causes orgy minimal excess motion at the surgery site. By fixing the position of the stabilizing means in a configuration where the motion of the beating heart is effectively eliminated, the surgeon is able to stabilize the beating heart for the duration of the procedure. The stabilizing means may be attached to a rigid support or may be attached to a semi-rigid support which is rendered motionless mechanically, chemically, or by human intervention.

US Patent:
6454999, Sep 24, 2002
Filed:
Oct 29, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/430244
Inventors:
Mehrdad Farhangnia - Sunnyvale CA
Alex Leynov - Walnut Creek CA
Joseph Loeffler - Mountain View CA
Alec A. Piplani - Mountain View CA
Greg Potts - Mountain View CA
Christian Skieller - Redwood City CA
Assignee:
Cardiovention, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61M 114
US Classification:
422 45, 422 48, 604 611, 604 614, 96257, 261DIG 28
Abstract:
An integrated blood pump/oxygenator having a rotating hollow fiber bundle assembly that both oxygenates and pumps blood is provided that includes a plurality of partitions disposed within or about the fiber bundle assembly to lengthen the flow path of blood passing through the fiber bundle. Alternatively, or in addition, blood flow paths may be lengthened and oxygenation improved by providing internal recirculation paths within the pump/oxygenator, which also advantageously may be used to reduce blood trauma caused by stagnation nearing moving parts and heat build-up.

International Classification:
A61B001/32
US Classification:
600/204000
Abstract:
The invention is methods and devices which a surgeon may use to stabilize the beating heart during a surgical procedure on the heart. Pursuant to the invention, a stabilizing device is introduced through an opening in the chest and brought into contact with the beating heart. By contacting the heart with the device and by exerting a stabilizing force on the device, the motion of the heart caused by the contraction of the heart muscles is effectively eliminated such that the heart is stabilized and the site of the surgery moves only minimally if at all. Typically, in separate steps, the surgeon contacts the heart with the stabilizing means, assesses the degree of movement of the anastomosis site, and exerts a force on the stabilizing means such that the contraction of the beating heart causes orgy minimal excess motion at the surgery site. By fixing the position of the stabilizing means in a configuration where the motion of the beating heart is effectively eliminated, the surgeon is able to stabilize the beating heart for the duration of the procedure. The stabilizing means may be attached to a rigid support or may be attached to a semi-rigid support which is rendered motionless mechanically, chemically, or by human intervention. In certain preferred embodiments, the stabilizing means is affixed to a semi-rigid support which is caused to become rigid, by any of a variety of techniques, such that the position of the stabilizing means becomes fixed by the support, and the heart remains substantially motionless for the duration of the procedure.
