Utilization of Confocal Microscopy During Cardiac Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Fluorescite and Cellvizio 100 Series System with Confocal Miniprobes for Atrial Septal Defect. Completed, enrolled 6 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators propose to translate confocal microscopy for use during open heart surgery. This tool will help discriminate between various types of tissues in the heart during surgery. One of the most feared complication after heart surgery is heart block. This flexible fiberoptic confocal microscope will help discriminate between the various types of tissues in the heart and thus help avoid injury to the conduction tissue during surgery.
