CA 2526351

Insertion of intracoronary shunts during off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery can induce a severe endothelial dysfunction. The present invention relates to a novel intracoronary shunt design and the use of this device during surgery as a means to prevent this undesirable effect. Termed the ~Monoshunt~, this intracoronary shunt advantageously avoids distal endothelial denudation and allows distal coronary perfusion.

Selon l'invention, l'insertion de shunts intracoronaires pendant un pontage aortocoronarien à coeur battant (OPCAB) peut induire un grave dysfonctionnement endothélial. La présente invention concerne une nouvelle conception de shunt intracoronaire ainsi que l'utilisation de ce dispositif pendant une chirurgie comme moyen de prévention de cet effet indésirable. Appelé "monoshunt", ce shunt intracoronaire permet avantageusement d'éviter une dénudation endothéliale et de réaliser une perfusion coronaire distale.
