Non-Sternotomy Surgical Solutions: Octopus® NS Tissue Stabilizer and Starfish®NS Heart Positioner
MEDTRONIC, INC.

710 Medtronic Parkway |

Medtronic''s commitment to leadership and innovation in the advancement of cardiac surgery reaches a new pinnacle by offering enabling technologies to position and stabilize the beating heart while requiring only a small thoracotomy for access. This allows patients undergoing multi-vessel full surgical revasculariation to avoid CPB and the median sternotomy incision as well as the morbidities associated with these procedure.¹ ² In addition, it decreases patient recovery times.²
In cooperation with Intuitive Surgical, Inc., we present a significant advance in minimally invasive approaches for coronary artery bypass surgery — Multi-Vessel Small Thoracotomy (MVST).
Intuitive Surgical''s da Vinci® Surgical System
• Offers 3D visualization of both left and right IMA''s from origin to bifurcation
• Enables surgeons to perform precise robotic IMA/BIMA mobilization without rib retraction
• Facilitates delicate tissue handling during IMA mobilization, lipectomy and pericardotomy with the aid of Endowrist® instruments
• Enables endoscopic target lesion assessment
• Allows extension of camera port wound to about 6 cm for anterior/lateral thoracotomy
Medtronic Non-Sternotomy Technologies
• Optimize view of the coronary targets with the Starfish®NS positioner
• Stabilize the coronary target with the Octopus®NS tissue stabilizer
With a MVST approach, complementary targets can provide your patients with a new standard in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery
