Abstract

A selective regional cerebral perfusion has been widely adopted for brain protection in neonatal or infant aortic arch surgeries. The anastomosis of the small polytetrafluoroethylene tube graft to the innominate artery hasbeen used for the selective regional cerebral perfusion inmany institutions. We have developed a specially designed cannula tip that allows bidirectional bloodflowand provides secure positioning of the polytetrafluoroethylene tube graft at the innominate artery. Innominate artery cannulation using this device reduces arterial clamping time and permits us to perform the arterial cannulation in a much easier and secure manner.
