The IntraClude device is an integrated system to occlude, arrest, and vent the heart as well as monitor aortic root pressure. Click below to learn more about the device and real-world evidence supporting its use.

Intra-aortic balloon occlusion is a conceivable option to avoid manipulation of the ascending aorta, to reduce the risk of stroke and to be able to treat patients with severe calcifications and unfavorable aortic anatomies.

May 17, 2024 · Two techniques used for aortic cross-clamping in minimally invasive cardiac surgeries are intrathoracic aortic cross-clamp and endoaortic balloon occlusion. 1 The endoaortic balloon minimizes aortic trauma by obviating the need for an antegrade cardioplegia needle and limiting surgical field obstruction compared with an intrathoracic cross-clamp.

Oct 9, 2018 · Two techniques of aortic occlusion and cardiac protection have been used: the transthoracic aortic clamp (TTC) and the endoaortic balloon occlusion (EAO). Both approaches present peculiar advantages and potential technical pitfalls.

Explore clinical evidence comparing intra-aortic balloon occlusion and external aortic clamping methods. See how hospitalization costs and outcomes from real-world evidence compare between occlusion methods. The IntraClude intra-aortic occlusion device (Model ICF100) is indicated for use in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.

Oct 2, 2024 · Intra-aortic balloon occlusion is a conceivable option to avoid manipulation of the ascending aorta, to reduce the risk of stroke and to be able to treat patients with severe calcifications and unfavorable aortic anatomies.

Nov 6, 2024 · Minimally invasive cardiac surgery with retrograde femoral arterial perfusion and endo-aortic clamping avoids re-entry injuries and reduces the requirement for dissection of adhesions and the risk of damage to cardiac structures.

Mar 1, 2024 · We compare outcomes of endo-aortic balloon occlusion (EABO) vs external aortic clamping (EAC) in patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to determine outcomes following aortic occlusion with the transthoracic clamp (TTC) versus endoaortic balloon occlusion (EABO) in patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.

Oct 2, 2024 · Intra-aortic balloon occlusion is a conceivable option to avoid manipulation of the ascending aorta, to reduce the risk of stroke and to be able to treat patients with severe calcifications and unfavorable aortic anatomies.
