System for performing cardiac surgery without cardioplegia

摘要

A surgical system or assembly for performing cardiac surgery includes a sensing means for sensing a physiological movement of the target tissue, predicting means coupled to the sensing means, the predicting means for calculating an anticipated position of the target tissue, and stabilization means coupled to the predicting means, the stabilization means for moving at least one of an image of the target tissue and a surgical end effector in response to the predicting means to compensate for the physiological movement.
