Abstract
System, devices and methods for providing a blood-free operative region for aortic arch repair procedures. Various embodiments disclose occlusion of the descending aorta, the innominate artery, the left carotid artery and the left subclavian artery while also providing sufficient perfusion distal of the occluding balloons. Various embodiments disclose performing aortic arch repair procedures while the patient's body temperature is maintained an normothermia (about 36 degrees C to about 37.5 degrees C). Other embodiments disclose performing aortic arch repair procedures while the patient's body temperature is maintained at slight hypothermia (about 30 degrees C to about 34 degrees C).
Claims11
A kit for perfusing one or more arteries of a patient, the kit comprising:
- a main cannula tube having a proximal portion, a distal portion configured to be positioned in the patient's descending aorta, and a main perfusion lumen extending through the main cannula tube, wherein the proximal portion of the main cannula tube is configured to be fluidly coupled to a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (“CPB”) to provide blood flow through the main perfusion lumen;
- a main occlusion element surrounding the distal portion of the main cannula tube such that the main perfusion lumen remains patent when the occlusion element is expanded;
- a secondary cannula tube having a proximal portion configured to be fluidly coupled to the CPB, a distal portion configured to be positioned in one of the innominate artery, the left carotid artery, or the left subclavian artery of the patient, and a secondary perfusion lumen extending through the secondary cannula tube;
- and
- a secondary occlusion element at the distal portion of the secondary cannula tube.
