Every patient responds differently to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and has unique requirements depending on their body composition. One thing that cannot be compromised during CPB is blood flow. Adequate blood flow during cardiopulmonary bypass is extremely important... by nfetterhoff | Jul 11, 2019 | Surge Cardiovascular
With progressive cardiac surgeries moving toward minimally invasive approaches, surgeons are using instruments specifically designed for these procedures. Instruments for minimally invasive surgeries can be smaller, have a lower-profile and accommodate a smaller...

Cardiothoracic surgeons know the complications that can arise while venting the left heart during cardiopulmonary bypass. One of the common risks while inserting the cannula is tissue damage. Tissue damage and/or perforation can result in further complications during... by nfetterhoff | Jul 11, 2019 | Surge Cardiovascular
Minimally invasive valve surgery is a rapidly growing field that, in many situations, is outpacing open techniques. These minimally invasive approaches, in addition to re-do cardiac operations and ECMO, require femoral venous cannulation. The type of cannulae surgeons...
