Abstract
Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy of the Minimally Invasive Targeted Resection (MiTR) device, a novel electrosurgical instrument that allows for targeted excision of a lung abnormality while using bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to seal blood vessels and airways.
Methods: The MiTR system was evaluated in 7 acute and 2 chronic porcine (7-day) models to evaluate the efficacy of tissue excision with bipolar RF sealing of blood vessels and airways and application of an autologous blood patch into the excised tissue cavity. Air leak was recorded for all evaluations. The study was approved by the institutional ethical board.
Results: Nineteen lung tissue samples, measuring 2.5 cm long × 1.2 cm diameter, were excised. In 8 of 9 animals (89%), hemostasis and pneumostasis were observed visually at the completion of the procedure. In 2 of 2 chronic animals (100%), hemostasis and pneumostasis persisted for the 7-day observation period. Histologic examination of the excised samples showed preservation of the core parenchymal architecture without evident tissue damage of the samples that would impair pathologic analysis.
Conclusions: Percutaneous resection of targeted lung tissue with the MiTR system demonstrated hemostasis and pneumostasis while obtaining a histologically intact sample. After regulatory approval, the use of this device could offer more tissue for analysis than a transthoracic needle biopsy or bronchoscopy and a far less invasive alternative to video-assisted thoracic surgery or thoracotomy. This may also expand patient and physician options for the early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
期刊介绍：
Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery is the first journal whose main mission is to disseminate information specifically about advances in technology and techniques that lead to less invasive treatment of cardiothoracic and vascular disease. It delivers cutting edge original research, reviews, essays, case reports, and editorials from the pioneers and experts in the field of minimally invasive cardiothoracic and vascular disease, including biomedical engineers. Also included are papers presented at the annual ISMICS meeting. Official Journal of the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery
