Boston公司開發出FlexView系統幫助心臟消融手術
 
一種新型觀察系統能夠幫助醫生進行侵入性較小的心血管手術消融操作。

FlexView系統能夠幫助醫生使用消融探針在密閉的胸腔環境中，進行微創胸腔鏡心臟消融手術，并能夠在手術全程直接觀察手術。
微波手術消融能夠聯合進行瓣膜或者冠狀動脈旁路手術共同進行，或者在微創單獨手術時進行。這套新系統是第一種專門設計用于微創、單側手術的系統，接受手術的患者能夠更

快地恢復，肋骨擴張手術引起的疼痛較少。使用特定途徑和修補工具，該系統能夠將整個手術時間降至30分鐘甚至更少。

這種FlexView系統是由Boston科學公司(Natick, MA, USA)研制開發的。
 
Visualization System Assists Cardiac Ablation
 
A new visualization system enables physicians to perform less-invasive cardiac surgical ablation procedures.

The FlexView system enables physicians to perform minimally invasive thoracoscopic cardiac ablation procedures with a surgical ablation probe in a closed chest environment, with direct visualization of the procedure at all times.

The microwave surgical ablation can be performed in combination with valve or coronary artery bypass surgeries or in minimally invasive, stand-alone procedures. The new system is the first system designed specifically for less-invasive, unilateral procedures, and patients who undergo the procedure should recover faster and with less pain than with procedures that require rib spreading. Using specialized routing and retrieval tools, the system may reduce overall procedure time by 30 minutes or more.

The FlexView system was developed by Boston Scientific (Natick, MA, USA).
