A novel figure A-shape sternal retractor was developed to avoid brachial plexus injury caused by sternal wide separation, and facilitate exposure of circumflex artery by elevating a rake and dropping the heart into the right pleural cavity during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. In addition, it has several notches to hold deep pericardial stitches in order to enhance the exposure.
一种新型的A形胸骨牵开器被研发出来,以避免因胸骨广泛分离导致的臂丛神经损伤,并在非体外循环冠状动脉旁路移植术中通过抬起耙子并将心脏放入右胸腔来便于旋支动脉的暴露。此外,它有几个缺口来固定心包深层缝线,以增强暴露效果。
