Abstract: | Because the usual arterial cannulation was not possible, two small infants successfully underwent cardiovascular operation with an arterial cannula in the supraceliac aorta through the gastrohepatic ligament for cardiopulmonary bypass. Follow-up 2.5 years after operation revealed no morbidity. Cannulation of the supraceliac aorta is unusual but should be considered as a valuable surgical option in special cases such as ours. |
