Beating Heart
CABG has come full circle. Prior to the introduction of CPB, CABG procedures were performed on a beating heart. However, the emergence of CPB and methods of myocardial protection revolutionized CABG procedures by providing a bloodless, motionless heart. CPB has allowed surgeons to perform a safe operation with excellent graft patency rates.
Despite the success of CABG with CPB, there are well-documented risks associated with CPB. Now Beating Heart CABG techniques and technologies are available that make the procedure easier and safer, with better technical outcomes.
Medtronic, in collaboration with strategic partners and physicians, is pioneering efforts to reduce the invasiveness of CABG surgery, by offering innovative systems to enable your beating heart techniques.
