Fig. 1. (a) Cardiopulmonary bypass is established by arterial
cannulation via the apex and left femoral artery with venous drainage
via the left femoral vein. (b) An apical cannula is used as a vent to
ensure a bloodless operative field during proximal anastomosis. (c) The
apical cannula is pulled back to the left ventricle and used as a
ventricular vent during rewarming.
