Optimal visualization of coronary artery anastomoses by gas jet
Abstract
A technique is described for improved visualization during the creation of coronary artery anastomoses employing a catheter-directed constant stream of oxygen to remove blood from the operative field. This technique is especially helpful when continuous blood cardioplegia is employed for myocardial protection.
