Abstract: Purpose. We developed a heart positioner, the Tentacles NEO, specifically designed for minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS-CABG).Description. The device has 3 flexible suction tubes, with a suction cup at the tip of each tube. The suction tubes can be detached from the device body, allowing them to be manipulated in any direction through a small incision around the small thoracotomy. When the device displaces the heart, the suction cup moves behind the chest wall and does not crowd the ope… Show more
