The Elana Heart Bypass System from AMT Medical enables surgeons to perform ‘open heart’ Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) procedures in a simpler and safer way. Elana connects a new bypass graft vessel to the blocked vessel during this procedure by using a Clip and Laser Catheter - instead of the surgeon hand-suturing the graft. In turn, this means that no traditional heart-lung machine is needed.
This CME-accredited course will give you a complete overview of the Elana Heart Bypass System and is a perfect preparation for the hands-on training.
You will find a step-by-step run-through on the procedure and get a good overview of the quality requirements.
Elana is a registered trademark of AMT Medical BV.
The topics that are discussed in the Elana Heart Bypass System module are:
– the urgency of the Elana Heart Bypass System
– how to use the Elana Heart Bypass System
– the quality assessment.
All this is explained from the perspective of the surgeon, which gives a realistic and detailed view of the procedure. Please note that this module is a theoretical introduction so once finished you are not certified to perform the technique. The training for certification for performing the surgery can be achieved at the hands-on training at AMT Medical.
