Angled probe for coronary sinus cannulation improves control, precision, and efficiency of cardiac lead placement

總結

Cardiac resynchronization therapy has emerged as the standard of care to reverse cardiac dysynchrony in patients with advanced congestive heart failure. This therapy is administered by inserting endocardial leads directly into the heart via coronary sinus cannulation. However lead insertion is technically challenging and standard cannulation devices are long and flexible, resulting in limited control by the surgeon. This technology is a right-angled cannula probe with a rigid frame that facilitates proper entry into the coronary sinus and allows monitoring of tissue interactions via tactile response. This device can improve the effectiveness of direct coronary sinus cannulation by improving ease of insertion, reducing total operating time, and reducing patient morbidity risks.
