The HEARTSTRING Proximal Seal System (Guidant Corp, Santa Clara, CA) is used to avoid aortic clamping while the proximal anastomoses are sewn. To protect surgeons from spurting blood while the device is used, we use a see through plastic sheet to cover the area being operated on. This modified technique is applied whenever the system is used and allows the safe use of the device even in high-risk patients with hepatitis or human immunodeficiency virus.
HEARTSTRING近端封闭系统(Guidant公司,加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉)用于在缝合近端吻合口时避免主动脉钳夹。为了在使用该装置时保护外科医生免受喷溅血液的影响,我们使用透明塑料片覆盖手术区域。每当使用该系统时都应用这种改良技术,即使在患有肝炎或人类免疫缺陷病毒的高危患者中也能安全使用该装置。
