Aortic root cannula are intended for use during cardiopulmonary bypass for antegrade delivery of cardioplegia solutions
and venting of the heart. The cannula may also be used to aspirate air from the aorta at the conclusion of the cardiac
procedure.
Aortic root cannula allow for the delivery of cardiologic solution via the aortic root with simultaneous air aspiration, thus
preventing coronary artery embolization. A valid aid in open-heart surgery, aortic root cannula are available in both adult
and pediatric versions. The adult model of this device features a second, separate lumen that permits the removal of air
from the aortic root after the release of the aortic cross-clamp.
