Supports feasibility of port-access endovascular bypass in selected cases; leaves open need for prospective trials before broader adoption.
Does Port-Access cardiac surgery using endovascular cardiopulmonary bypass allow safe performance of procedures requiring cardioplegic arrest without sternotomy?
The EndoCPB endovascular cardiopulmonary bypass system allows for safe minimally invasive cardiac surgery without sternotomy in procedures requiring cardioplegic arrest.
