Technical Features of the Experimental Target Device for Denervation of the Pulmonary Arteries

Abstract

Objectives: Creation of a device that allows additionally performing a procedure to correct high pulmonary hypertension during heart valve replacement surgery. Methods: In laboratory conditions, a number of parameters of the pulmonary vessels were measured - the wall thickness in various areas, the diameter of the pulmonary trunk in the initial state (without squeezing it) and the transverse size of the pulmonary trunk when squeezing until its inner walls were completely closed.
