    Abstract: This invention is a method, and device for occluding a patient's ascending aorta, maintaining circulation of oxygenated blood (72) in the patient, and delivering cardio-plegia fluid (64) to arrest the patient's heart. An aortic occlusion catheter has an occluding member (4) for occluding the ascending aorta. The aortic occlusion catheter (2) passes through a cannula (28). Delivery of oxygenated blood (72) is accomplished through either the cannula (28) or the aortic occlusion catheter (2). In another aspect of the invention, an arterial cannula (28) has a curved or angled distal portion (40). An introducer (50) straightens the distal portion (40) for introduction into the patient. In still another aspect of the invention, an open-mesh stabilizer (172) is used to stabilize a discoid occluding member (4K).

    Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) for attaching a tubular graft (20) to a body structure (332) is disclosed. The apparatus (10) includes a central rod (12) with an anvil (14) attached at a distal end (16) thereof. Driver pins (24) move distally to eject staples (210) which are housed in a cartridge (26). The staple cartridge (26) has an outer circumference sufficient to accommodate everted end (34) of tubular graft (20), and an inner diameter sufficient to accommodate a majority of the tubular graft (2) therein. Accordingly, the method includes positioning the rod (12) in the graft (20), everting an end (34) of the graft around a shoulder (36) of the staple cartridge (26), inserting the anvil (14) through an opening (334) in the body structure (332), compressing the graft (20) and the body structure (332) between the anvil (14) and shoulder (36), and moving the driver pins (24) distally to engage and drive the staples (210), thus stapling the graft (20) to the body structure (332).

    Abstract: A stereoscopic endoscope is disclosed having two laterally separated objective lens elements (66, 68) at the distal end (50) of an elongated probe for creating a left and right image. Polarizing elements (70, 72) in series with each objective lens are oriented with their principle axes perpendicular. The orthogonally polarized left and right images are combined with one another along a common optical path through the relay section (52). An image decoupling beam splitting section (56) proximal to the relay section (52) uses a polarizing beam splitter to separate the left and right images based on their orthogonal polarization states and directs them toward the left and right eyepieces in the ocular section (58). An optical hinge section (54) allows relative movement between the ocular section (58) and the distal portion of the endoscope.

    Abstract: Device and methods are provided for less invasive surgical treatment of cardiac valves whereby the need for a gross thoracotomy or median sternotomy is eliminated. In one aspect of this invention, a delivery system (10) for a cardiac valve prosthesis such as an annuloplasty ring (90) or prosthetic valve (262) includes an elongated handle (28) configured to extend into the heart through an intercostal space from outside of the chest cavity, and a prosthesis holder (100) attached to the handle for releasably holding a prosthesis. The prosthesis holder (100) is attached to the handle (28) in such a way that the holder (100), prosthesis (90) and handle (28) have a profile with a height smaller than the width of an intercostal space when the adjacent ribs are unrectrated, preferably less than about 30 mm. In a further aspect, the invention provides a method for repairing or replacing a heart valve which includes the steps of introducing a prosthesis (262) through an intercostal space and through a penetration in a wall of the heart, and securing the prosthesis (262) to an interior wall of the heart, wherein each step is carried out without cutting, removing, or significantly retracting the ribs or sternum.

    Abstract: A cannula (2) has a distal portion (6) which is angled relative to a proximal portion (4). The distal portion (6) is straightened during introduction with a stiffening element (14). After introduction, the stiffening element (14) is removed so that the distal portion (6) angulates relative to the proximal portion so that the cannula (2) can be moved out of the surgical field. The cannula (2) preferably includes a stabilizing ring (30) having suture holders. The stabilizing ring is also preferably angled relative to the cannula (2).
