Adequate myocardial protection is crucial for a successful cardiac surgery. In type A aortic dissection, standard methods of delivery of cardioplegic solution may not be adequately effective.

We present a new method of delivering a cardioplegic solution using a Foley catheter through the orifice of the brachiocephalic trunk or the left common carotid artery.
