Cardiac Surgery: Safeguards and Pitfalls in Operative by Siavosh Khonsari, Colleen Flint Sintek

By Siavosh Khonsari, Colleen Flint Sintek

Now in its Fourth version, this article is a pragmatic, seriously illustrated advisor to strategies in cardiac surgical procedure. Chapters disguise received and congenital illnesses and comprise surgical anatomy, surgical exposures, and step by step procedural information. The authors point out pitfalls with a probability signal and flag issues of detailed curiosity with "NB" (Nota Bene). This variation has contributions from Abbas Ardehali, MD, FACS, the director of the UCLA center, heart-lung, and lung transplant application. Highlights comprise a brand new bankruptcy on middle transplantation. additionally incorporated are updates in minimally invasive surgical procedure and vascular and endovascular surgical procedure.

Atrial Cannulation in Reoperation In reoperation, the atrial wall is sometimes thin and friable, and its dissection can be tedious and hazardous. It is advantageous to leave a segment of pericardium intact on the atrial wall through which cannulation can be performed safely and securely (Fig. 2-21). FIG 2-17. Surgical anatomy of the sinoatrial node and surrounding structures. FIG 2-18. Clamp injury to the sinoatrial node. FIG 2-19. Clamp injury to the right coronary artery. FIG 2-20. Management of a right coronary artery clamp injury.

Left Ventricular Wall Bleeding Purse-string sutures are not required to hold the cannula in place, and may cause troublesome bleeding. Injury to Left Anterior Descending Artery The cannulation site should be well away from the left anterior descending coronary artery on the anterior wall of the left ventricle. Venous Cannulation Right Atrial Cannulation Technique A single, large, dual-stage atriocaval cannula provides satisfactory venous return for most cardiac surgical procedures. This cannula is introduced through a purse-string suture in the right atrial appendage so that the tip lies in the inferior vena cava and the basket lies in the right atrium (Fig.

5 times the diameter of the sinotubular junction. In general, the noncoronary cusp is slightly larger than the other two, and the left is the smallest. FIG 5-1. A: Posteroanterior view of the heart with the aorta and pulmonary artery transected above the sinuses. The atria have been removed at the level of the atrioventricular valves. The noncoronary sinus has been excised at the noncoronary annulus and the aortic leaflets have been removed. B: Superior view into the aortic root. The leaflets have been excised.
