Heart Case provides surgical learners with a platform for deliberate practice of basic cardiac operative skills in a safe, repeatable environment. Heart Case is a compact thorax including the pertinent adult anatomy of a full sternotomy opening (approx. 5″ x 7″) without the bulk or expense of a full thorax. Designed specifically to address the hands-on needs of the cardiothoracic resident, the platform is intended for training: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, both Proximal and Distal Anastomoses Aortic Valve Implantation Aortic Cannulation End-to-Side Anastomosis on small vessels Mitral Valve Procedures The positionable arm and mating plates enable the use of many of our cardiothoracic trainers within the anatomical context of a sternotomy. Rapid interchange is then possible from user to user and procedure to procedure. For aortic and vessel anastomoses the anatomy may be filled with fluid or air via a mating luer lock on the supporting stand to test for “hemostasis. ” Suturing may be preserved and presented to mentoring faculty for review and progress assessment. HEART CASE includes: Suitcase Thorax with Full Sternotomy Positionable Arm Heart Cradle to accept CABG Heart Vessel Anastomosis Stand Vessel Stabilizing Clip
