Live Case: Magellan Intravascular Procedure at TCT 2013 Miami

Transcript:

So Marty one of the issues is tactile feedback
that you give up obviously in the coronaries and maybe its less of an issue in the peripheral vascular territory but what do
people think about that It's a very good question. I have to say that, and I argue with people

I think people make a little bit too
much of this tactile feedback I think when
you're at the end of a guidewire floppy tip guidewire you don't feel much of anything it's more visually, seeing the
movement of the guidewire that you somehow interpret that as being tactile I think it's much much more
visual feedback than it is tactile So I don't know that you lose very much i think what you
gain is the precision of control I think
they've What I also believe about tactile is I think a lot
of tactile is actually visual actually exactly is when you see a wire hit something

Yea, when we worked with fellows
and you'll, and they don't move the wire well, You see that before
even they don't know that it's (there) Right I was just about to say that we experience that every day when you see the fellows and
you know exactly what what they should
be doing and you don't have your hands on
the wire but to your point, Marty about
to control and ergonomics is from
doing when we operate on tibials or if we do microsurgery which I did in the lab for a while it's very much about there is no tactile
feedback at all it's all visual and so it's all about
illumination magnification and and getting your
arms resting on a solid surface so that
you can use the incredible control that you have in
your hand rather than your arm muscles so these are early sort of microsurgical principles

but I think they're applicable to some of these more delicate
and nuanced the vascular procedures
