Abstract
We report an innovative use of the Octopus IV cardiac stabilizer in a case of penetrating thoracic injury. In this case, we used the Octopus IV cardiac stabilizer to immobilize the right ventricular outflow tract during the repair of a stab wound. To date, there have been no reports of such an application of the Octopus IV cardiac stabilizer.Entities:
