Abstract
Introduction
This article presents an experimental model for direct viewing of endovascular procedures within the ascending aorta and aortic arch.
Report
The model consisted of a porcine heart and aorta connected to a pump providing continuous or pulsatile irrigation with saline set in a waterproof basin. Aortic branches were sutured or clamped. A telescope connected to a thoracoscopic camera was inserted through the apex into the left ventricle and advanced into the arch through the aortic valve.
Discussion
This protocol provided excellent image quality, and could be used to improve endovascular procedures and establish safer protocols for use in humans.
