Step-by-Step. OFF-PUMP TRIPLE EXTRA-ANATOMICAL BY-PASS

1. The heart is accessed through a full midline sternotomy
2. An off-pump coronary artery bypass graft is performed on the left anterior descending artery using a saphenous vein graft and 7-0 prolene continuous suture
3. The aorta is partially clamped with a side clamp and is opened through a longitudinal incision, about 2 cm length
4. A prosthesis is sutured onto the aorta with a continuous 4-0 prolene suture
5. One branch of the prosthesis is passed behind the ascending aorta,

Recorded video case

Carotid artery stenting with the Mo.Ma™ Ultra proximal cerebral protection device

This is a recorded case presenting all the important steps of carotid artery stenting (CAS). These steps include the use of transbrachial access, the advancement of the sheath in the common carotid artery, the placement of the Mo.Ma cerebral protection device to remove all sizes of debris and the final procedure of carotid artery stenting. Finally, the interventionalists demonstrate all relevant aspects of intraoperative monitoring by transcranial doppler.
