Congratulations, Dr. Kempfert, on the excellent educational video. The results are truly impressive.
I am just curious to know how you manage the deairing. I noticed that in your video, you had already removed the cannula and closed the site before removing the aortic clamp.
In my practice, I manage it by keeping the cannula for anterograde cardioplegia in place and using it to drain the air whit the patient in Trendelemburg position.
Thank you once again for sharing your expertise through this video.
TERRIFIC SURGERY..WHICH X-CLAMP DID YOU USE? CHITWOOD, GLAUBER OR OTHER?
I THINK YOU MAY HAVE USED THE CYGNET DEVICE. IS THAT CORRECT?
