A simple technique for multigraft cardioplegic infusion during coronary artery bypass
GM Lawrie
The use of a Silastic four-armed cardioplegic infusion device during
coronary artery bypass grafting, which has facilitated multidose
cardioplegic infusion through the aorta and vein grafts, is described. The
device also permits transaortic needle sump suction for decompression of
the left ventricle. This device has been used effectively in more than 250
patients.
