METHOD OF CONTROLLING RESULTS OF LEFT AURICLE CAVITY REDUCTION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B5/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, in particular to cardiosurgery. Before operation patient's height and weight are determined. Area of their body surface and individual, normal for said patient volume of left auricle is calculated. Volume of left auricle is instrumentally determined, after reduction of the obtained value by 20%, its surface area before reduction is calculated. During operation on open heart section of reduction is selected and its area is calculated. Obtained value is subtracted from area of left auricle surface before reduction. By remainder volume of left auricle obtained after reduction is calculated. Obtained volume is compared with the desirable one and necessity of reduction of selected zone and continuance of reduction is estimated. In case of necessity reduction of selected zone is performed. New section of reduction is selected, its area is calculated and described above algorithm is repeated. In case if there is no necessity of reduction, procedure of atrioplasty is stopped.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to obtain controlled reduction of left auricle volume to normal, which results in increase of respiratory volume, reduction of time of artificial lung ventilation after operation, reduction of the number of complications associated with respiration.
