Abstract
A technique is described for direct aortic arterial cannulation during Port -Access mitral valve or coronary artery bypass grafting. Femoral arterial c annulation is avoided, and endoaortic balloon occlusion is used for cardiop legic arrest. To date, excellent results have been obtained in 45 patients.
