A newly designed venous cannula for use during total cardiac bypass in the closed chest by femoro-femoral perfusion.
A two-staged venous cannula was developed for total cardiac bypass in the closed chest during femoro-femoral perfusion. This was as effective as the dual cannula system. Its use is advocated in repeat open heart surgery.
