CORONARY INFLOW OCCLUSION AND ANASTOMOTIC ASSIST DEVICE

摘要

A surgical assist device (100) used to constrict blood perfusion during surgeries is provided. The device utilizes one or more compression members (104) to apply a controlled pressure to an open artery (108) to stop blood perfusion at the surgical site. The compression members can be deployed and retracted manually, automatically, or remotely. The applied pressure can also be remotely monitored and controlled. The device can be used in conjunction with existing suction based coronary stabilization devices or used as a stand-along unit. The device can be used to apply controlled pressure to the arteries to constrict blood perfusion with significantly less invasion into the surgical area.
