Characteristics of the devices for pericardial endoscopic surgery. We developed unique tools for pericardial endoscopic maneuvers. The ID, name, specification, and figure of devices are shown. R-30 and R-70 were originally designed for transurethral cancer resection with a 30 and 70° squinted visual field. Sh-L and Sh-S are 15 French and 22.5 French sized sheaths, respectively, with guide wires clamps. Nd-G is the cell transplantation needle with a grip and Nd-U is visible under ultrasonography. Black scale: 1 cm; ID: inner diameter; OD: outer diameter; PTFE: polytetrafluoroethylene.
