“…Carlens and Silander described use of an inflatable rubber balloon (5-10 ml) mounted on a 7-mm-diameter telescopic cannula tip and placed in the right atrium [11]. Bolton et al [2] reported using a simple Lucite tubing used to transmit external light into the heart. Device (length: 9-12 cm; diameter: 0.75-2 cm) placed through a purse-string suture on selected atrial appendage was used for intracardiac assessment and photography.…”

“…They developed innovative means for intracardiac visualization, and several concepts have been proposed since early in the twentieth century. The first records of cardioscope concepts were in publications by Rhea and Walker in 1913 and Allen and Graham in 1922, and several other ideas were developed afterwards [1][2][3][4]. To facilitate visualization of the bloodfilled organ, these early concepts primarily focused on direct introduction of variously designed endoscopes through the cardiac wall, after which the interior of the heart could be inspected.…”

Objective: With heart disease increasing worldwide, demand for new minimally invasive techniques and transcatheter technologies to treat structural heart disease is rising. Cardioscopy has long been considered desirable, as it allows direct tissue visualization and intervention to deliver therapy via a closed chest, with real-time fiber-optic imaging of intracardiac structures. Herein, the feasibility of the advanced cardioscopic platform, allowing both transapical and fully percutaneous access is reported. The latter technique, in particular, is believed to represent a milestone in the development of the Cardioscope.

Recent developments in optical instrumentation have made possible the direct, three-dimensional viewing of intravascular structures. Using an angioscope (the Trimedyne Optiscope, Trimedyne Inc., Santa Ana CA) and a xenon cold lamp (the Xenon Cold Light Fountain, Karl Storz Endoscopy America, Inc., Culver City, CA), the authors have visualized, without complications, the normal orifices of various arteries and their bifurcations in 12 dogs, the atherosclerotic aortas of eight post mortem humans, and the coronary arteries of six post mortem humans. Potential applications of the instruments include more accurate diagnosis of occlusive diseases of the blood vessels, evaluation of such interventional procedures as angioplasty, intraoperative assessment of anastomoses, and safer laser surgery. The angioscope also enables the physician to combine pressure recording and dye injection simultaneously with the visualization of the inner walls of the vessels.
