DESCRIPTION
CardioMed’s aortic root cannulae allow for the delivery of cardioplegic solution via the aortic root with simultaneous air aspiration, thus preventing coronary artery embolization. A valid aid in open-heart surgery, aortic root cannulae are available in both adult and pediatric versions. The adult model of this device features a second, separate lumen which permits the removal of air from the aortic root after release of the aortic cross-clamp.
