A new microsurgical technique in the heart, can replace open heart surgery, as doctors say the Institute of Heart Diseases Montreal, who have already implemented this technique in 500 patients. surgical tools consist of a camera, which detects lesions of arteries / valves even lancets intervening minutes for therapeutic intervention.
The surgeons say that the camera viewing magnified the problems of the arteries / valves and thus interfere with accuracy and
efficiency. surgeon Michelle Peleren by the Institute of Heart Diseases Montreal describes this minimally invasive procedure, which he and his team have perfected correcting mitral valve and other cardiac surgery. The main advantage of this technique is that it is open heart surgery, but a
small operation that closes quickly and relatively painlessly for the patient.
These revolution in operating the valves, says surgeon Denis Bouchard cooperating interventions with Michelle Peleren. The surgery lasts minimum, the patient's recovery is fast. Simultaneously, the new technique is addressed even in
old age, which would not withstand open-heart surgery. Both surgeons had attended technical repair of cardiac valves in Belgium, but perfected the technique of microsurgical heart in Montreal.
They hope to be able to carry 150-250 surgeries kind per year. microsurgery The new Institute of Heart Diseases Montreal must pass clinical trials so as to satisfy the conditions to be incorporated in surgeries of the heart.
