Abstract
Conventional cardiac surgery is performed via median sternotomy and central cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is performed through cannulation on ascending aorta and superior vena cava and inferior vena cava. Robotic surgical technology has provided port-access which has made peripheral CPB endoaortic balloon occluders possible. Establishment of peripheral CPB has been an important step for robotic cardiac surgery. The standard procedures of peripheral CPB establishment include right internal jugular cannulation and femoral artery and vein cannulation. This chapter describes the peripheral CPB technique which has been used routinely for totally robotic cardiac surgery using da Vinci Surgical System at the Chinese PLA General Hospital.
