Publication number: 20060149187Abstract: A multichannel catheter for extracorporeal circulation of blood to a patient undergoing cardiovascular treatments or surgery has three independent channels, an obturator and an expandable balloon. The first channel is the largest and is of a size that allows for delivery of blood through outlet parts in the wall of the first channel to a patient in an amount sufficient to maintain the patient's metabolism and perfusion throughout the treatment or surgery. The obturator is longitudinally insertable into the first channel. The second and third channels are integrated into the wall of the first channel. The second channel is suitable for delivering a biologically active fluid to the heart and/or venting the left heart. The third channel is suitable for delivering a fluid to the balloon for its expansion. The catheter provides an improved means of preparing for or performing cardiovascular surgery on a patient using a cardiopulmonary machine for extracorporeal circulation of blood.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2005Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventors: Arthur Bertolero, Raymond Bertolero, Jerome Riebman

Publication number: 20050267336Abstract: An adjustable surgical retractor and its use for improving a surgeon's ability to perform closed-chest video-assisted exploratory, diagnostic or surgical procedures on a patient. The surgical retractor has opposable blades which can be inserted into a surgical incision in a patient undergoing a surgical procedure then spread apart to form an elongated access opening through which a instrument may be inserted to perform exploratory, diagnostic or surgical procedures. The blades used in the surgical retractor may be flexible or rigid and are attachable to the retractor. The blades are of a width, depth and thickness to provide an access to an internal cavity or subcutaneous region to allow greater degrees of freedom to the surgeon in inserting instruments into the access opening. The use of the surgical retractor forms a substantially ovoid channel, through which a medical instrument can be inserted to perform surgical or other operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2005Publication date: December 1, 2005Inventors: Arthur Bertolero, Raymond Bertolero, Jerome Riebman
