An alternative cardiopulmonary bypass strategy for intracaval baffle repair of scimitar syndrome

Abstract

Intracaval buffle repair of scimitar syndrome is classically performed under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest or using low-flow modalities of cardiopulmonary bypass with peripheral cannulation. We propose an alternative perfusion approach to the procedure using total intrapericardial cannulation under full-flow normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass.
