Abstract
Peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioplegia has facilitated minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve replacement. The cardiopulmonary bypass system was modified to allow bicaval occlusion for right heart operations. In 4 canine studies, three variants of bicaval cannulation techniques were successfully used for atrial septal defect repair via a right minithoracotomy.
