<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diaphragm entry for posterior surgical access. <P>SOLUTION: This method and apparatus provide improved treatment of body organs. More specifically, the method and apparatus permit improved access within a body cavity to perform a surgical procedure such as ablation and/or coagulation of cardiac tissue during minimally invasive surgical access to the heart. The diaphragmatic access described provides direct visualization of anatomic structures within the thoracic cavity such as the posterior left atrium, the posterior side of pulmonary veins, or any other such anatomic structure. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
