Balloon catheter occlusion of the ascending aorta

HG Erath Jr and WS Stoney Jr

Dense calcification of the ascending aorta predisposes to aortic injury and distal embolization when the aorta is cross-clamped or partially clamped in the performance of cardiac operations. We occluded the ascending aorta with a Foley balloon catheter in 2 patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass grafting. The technique used is described in this report.
