Abstract

Port access, a term originally coined by the founders of Heartport, Inc. (Redwood City, CA), was intended to describe a totally endoscopic approach to cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (1,2). While the founders of Heartport ultimately concluded in the mid-1990s that totally endoscopic cardiac surgery was not technically feasible at the time, the term port access was retained and applied to minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures using a small thoracotomy and any combination of catheters developed by Heartport. The system consists of endoclamps, catheters for percutaneous retrograde cardioplegia and pulmonary artery venting, femoral venous cannulation, direct aortic cannulation, and femoral arterial cannulation.
