Epicardial Echocardiography of Coronary Anastomoses Using the Echoclip Device

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether use of the echoclip device (an ultrasound transducer positioning device which can stabilize the involved part of the myocardium on the beating heart) facilitates imaging of coronary bypass anastomoses during coronary bypass surgery. A total of 100 low risk patients undergoing elective on-pump coronary bypass surgery will be included in the study in order to evaluate if the surgeons can visualize the coronary anastomoses before closure of the sternum. Ultrasonograpic pictures will be analyzed directly peroperatively and electronically post-operatively in order to evaluate if selected areas of the anastomoses can be visualized. Use of the echoclip devise will be considered a success if at least 80% of the anastomoses can be visualized.

Conditions

  • Coronary Arteriosclerosis

Interventions

DEVICE

Echoclip

An ultrasound transducer positioning device, the Echoclip device (Aalborg Hospital, Aalborg,Denmark), which can stabilize the involved part of the myocardium on the beating heart, keep the gel at place, and position the ultrasound transducer correctly for imaging will be used for visualising the coronary bypass anastomoses during surgery
