  • Atrial Retraction Device For Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Procedures
    Publication number: 20180317900
    Abstract: An atrial retraction device is disclosed. In minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, there is often the need to make a second incision in the chest to place an atrial retractor for gaining clear access to the mitral valve of the heart by a cardiothoracic surgeon. The atrial retraction device of the present invention eliminates the need for a second incision, and provides an adjustable retraction device and associated surgical adjustor that reduces patient trauma, reduces surgical time, and does not require frequent adjustments during surgery. The atrial retraction device uses an adjustable band and roller arrangement to maintain clear and unobstructed access to the mitral valve during surgery.
