  • Title: [Robotic-guided techniques in heart surgery].
    Author: Diegeler A, Falk V, Walther T, Autschbach R, Mohr FW.
    Journal: Z Kardiol; 2000; 89 Suppl 7():99-103. PubMed ID: 11098566.
    Abstract:
    The rigid design of conventional endoscopic instruments with limited degrees of freedom has not allowed for endoscopic cardiac surgery. Using a surgical telemanipulation system that is operated from a master console, endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve repair can be performed with high precision. Closed-chest cardiopulmonary bypass systems that allow cardioplegic cardiac arrest are required. After extensive experimental testing a telemanipulation system was used clinically.
