Newly designed bayonet clips for complicated aneurysms: technical note.

Abstract

Three newly designed bayonet clips (crankshaft clips) are presented. They were designed to occlude aneurysms with irregular necks by using the angle and shank portion of a bayonet clip (shank clipping). The new clips have shorter distal blades and longer shanks (proximal blades), and the angle portions are bent to an angle of smaller degree. These clips are useful particularly for aneurysms located in a wider space.

How to clamp the main pulmonary artery during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy.

We sometimes run across difficulty in dissection of the pulmonary arteries due to dense pleural adhesions and bleeding from the pulmonary artery during the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. In these cases, conversion of the VATS approach to open thoracotomy is a requisite. The presence of an easy and safe technique for pulmonary artery clamping will make the switch of the surgical procedure unnecessary. We developed the new technique for pulmonary artery clamping using 1-0 silk suture. This may become one of the standard techniques for pulmonary artery clamping not only in VATS but also in open thoracotomy, as well.
