    摘要: 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 device, assesses the degree of movement of the anastomosis site, and exerts a force on the stabilizing device such that the contraction of the beating heart causes only minimal excess motion at the surgery site. By fixing the position of the stabilizing device 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 device 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 device 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 device becomes fixed by the support, and the heart remains substantially motionless for the duration of the procedure.

    摘要: Surgical instruments and methods for making substantially linear incisions, especially through the wall of vessels, such as arteries, specifically designed for coronary artery bypass graft procedures (CABG) on the beating heart. The invention is particularly useful to create the incision in the artery to which a bypass graft is sewn, typically the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The instruments allow incisions to be rapidly made, precisely measured, and cleanly formed so that a bypass graft can be rapidly sewn in place, without undue trauma to surrounding tissue and excessive loss of blood. In one embodiment, a hand-held instrument has a cutting edge formed on the interior edge of a curved blade fixed near the end of the instrument. The tip of the blade has a point for penetrating the vessel wall which may have several alternate shapes to facilitate penetration of the vessel wall while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue. In another embodiment the hand-held instrument includes a moveable member which creates an incision by engaging a cutting blade against a stop, cutting tissue therebetween, the stop including a pointed tip similar to the previous embodiment. In another embodiment, the instrument features a motion-canceling member which compensates for the movement of the target surface to be incised. This embodiment has a cutting blade which is manipulated from a handle which is isolated from the movement of the tissue containing or proximate to the target of the incision.

    摘要: The invention is surgical instruments which facilitate substantially linear incisions, especially through the wall of vessels, such as arteries, which have been specifically designed for coronary artery bypass graft procedures (CABG) on the beating heart. The instruments of the invention are particularly useful to create the incision in the artery to which the bypass graft is sewed, typically the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The instruments of the invention allow incisions to be rapidly made, precisely measured, and cleanly formed so that a bypass graft can be rapidly sewn in place. In one embodiment, the invention is comprised of a hand-held instrument with a curved cutting edge formed on the interior edge of a curved or arcuitous segment located near the end of the instrument. The tip of the instrument has a point of penetrating the vessel wall. The point may have several alternate shapes to facilitate penetration of the vessel wall while maximizing the trauma to the surrounding tissue. Another embodiment is comprised of a hand-held instrument with moveable member such that the incision is created by engaging a cutting blade against a stop with the tissue being cut therebetween. This instrument is also constructed to facilitate a rapid linear incisions in a vessel while minimizing the possibility for damage to the surrounding tissue. In another embodiment, the instrument features a motion-cancelling member which compensates for the movement of the target surface to be incised. This embodiment has a cutting blade which is manipulated form handle which is isolated from the movement of the tissue containing or proximate to the target of the incision. The instruments facilitate the invasive cardiac procedures by creating linear incisions quickly without undue trauma to surrounding tissue and without excess loss of blood.
