Training set-up for trans-femoral smart canula® application with Seldinger technique
- puncture of the femoral vein - guide wire insertion - check position with TEE
- tip positioning in the superior vena cava - check position with TEE - smart canula® collapsed (stretched) with mandrel - smart canula® insertion over the wire - guide wire removal - mandrel removal - smart canula® expands spontaneously - check position with TEE
Clinical smart canula® application with Seldinger technique for remote cannulation
- puncture of the femoral vein - guide wire insertion - tip positioning in the superior vena cava - stepwise dilatation of the access orifice - smart canula® collapsed (stretched) with mandrel - smart canula® insertion over the wire - guide wire removal - mandrel removal - smart canula® expands spontaneously
Clinical smart canula® application for Ross procedure (pulmonary autograft in aortic position):
at this stage the leaflets of the neo-aortic valve are tested. Single central cannulation with cardioplegic arrest was selected for the left side and assisted beating heart for the right side. Note, the relatively deep smart canula® position in order to avoid air locks.
