Journal of Mechanical Design
Transapical cardiac procedures provide an alternative to the invasiveness of open-heart surgery and tool and maneuverability limitations of transcatheter approaches. We present a novel cardiac access-closure device for transapical procedures that is fully percutaneous, can be inserted into any area of the heart, and allows for the usage of surgical tools up to 10mm wide. Airtight seals around the tool and entire device prevent blood loss or embolisms. The device leaves little hardware behind…
