Experimental and histological evaluation of different clamp technique for pulmonary artery.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The double-loop technique has been used in our clinical settings for pulmonary arterioplasty and/or injured artery repair during thoracoscopic anatomical lung resection. We evaluated the pressure resistance capacity and intimal load to determine the effectiveness and safety of the double-loop technique.

Methods

The double-loop technique, DeBakey clamp, Fogarty clamp, endovascular clips and vessel loop technique were evaluated. During an experimental study, a polyvinyl alcohol main pulmonary artery model, manometer and in-deflation device were used to measure the burst pressure. The maximum clamp pressure was measured using a pressure-measuring film. Each measurement was performed 10 times. During the histological study, we measured the burst pressure and evaluated
