Endoscope-assisted surgery and robot-assisted surgery are not common in cardiac surgery, particularly coronary artery bypass grafting, because of the complex nature of the procedures. We developed a new suturing device that allows for easy performance of such cardiac surgeries in comparison with conventional suturing methods. A total of 63 rabbits were used in this study. The right carotid artery was bypassed using the same side of the jugular vein under endoscopic guidance. Of these, 48 rabbits were operated on using the new devices and 15 rabbits were operated on using conventional polypropylene sutures. The proximal suturing time was 16.6 ± 5.3 minutes in the group that underwent surgery using the new device (group D) and 22.8 ± 7.6 minutes in the control group (group C; P < 0.05). The distal suture time was 16.3 ± 4.2 minutes in group D and 22.8 ± 6.0 minutes in group C (P < 0.05). The operation time was 113.0 ± 15.8 minutes in group D and 136.7 ± 20.6 minutes in group C (P < 0.05). Graft flow was 19.9 ± 12.8 mL/minute in group D and 12.1 ± 11.3 mL/minute in group C (P < 0.05). Thus, the operation time and the suture time differed significantly between the groups. This device provides advantages in endoscopic surgery compared to the conventional suture method.
