Diffusion en direct d'interventions chirurgicales lors de congrès internationaux

Une intervention chirurgicale réalisée à Francfort lors du Congrès européen des chirurgiens cardiothoraciques a été retransmise par satellite à Barcelone et sur plusieurs chaînes de télévision turques en Europe. Au cours de l’opération, l’artère principale d’un patient a été entièrement remplacée à l’aide d’une nouvelle méthode : Société européenne de chirurgie cardiothoracique, Techno College, Barcelone, Espagne, septembre 2005 Live Surgery Symposium, “Warm Arch Surgery – Replacement of Full Aorta (45 cm) in Mild Hypothermic Conditions (32°C)” (Chirurgie de l’arche chaude – Remplacement de l’aorte complète (45 cm) dans des conditions d’hypothermie légère (32°C)).

Chirurgien : Tayfun Aybek, MD

Transmission en direct de Francfort à Barcelone

L’intervention chirurgicale réalisée à Francfort lors du Congrès européen des chirurgiens cardiothoraciques a été retransmise par satellite à Montecarlo et sur plusieurs chaînes de télévision allemandes. Pendant l’opération, un pontage a été réalisé sur le cœur d’un patient conscient sous anesthésie péridurale : Société européenne de chirurgie cardiothoracique, Techno College, Monte Carlo, septembre 2002 Symposium de chirurgie en direct, “CABG in the Awake Setting – LIMA to LAD Using Partial Lower Sternotomy in High Epidural Anesthesia without Endotracheal Intubation” (pontage aorto-coronarien en milieu éveillé – passage du LIMA au LAD par sternotomie inférieure partielle sous anesthésie péridurale sans intubation endotrachéale).

Transmission en direct de Francfort à Montecarlo

Une intervention chirurgicale réalisée à Francfort lors du Congrès européen des chirurgiens cardiothoraciques a été retransmise par satellite à un autre centre de conférence de Francfort et à plusieurs chaînes de télévision allemandes. Au cours de l’opération, deux valves du patient ont été réparées par une incision de 5 cm : Société européenne de chirurgie cardiothoracique, Francfort, Allemagne, septembre 2000, Symposium de chirurgie en direct, “Réparation mitrale complexe par petite thoracotomie antérieure droite”.
