Abstract:
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. Ineffectiveness may happen due to both features of the anatomy of the dissection and to peculiarities of the delivery method itself. 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.
