Nicely done. I see that you have further improvised on your ivc cannulation technique. Great demonstration video…

Very nice technique. I am wondering where can I buy that special instrument for sternum lifting?
thanks

Congratulations, very good cosmetic results. The way of IVC cannulation is excellent, is it possible to cannulate the aorta in the same way through intercostal space if it was difficult to cannulate through the incision?
