  • Title: Vacuum-assisted venous drainage in complex congenital cardiac surgery.
    Author: Walther T, Tsang V, Hawkey D, de Leval M.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2002 Apr; 50(2):100-1. PubMed ID: 11981711.
    Abstract:
    Here, we report on a case of temporary neurological damage following conduit replacement from the right ventricle to pulmonary artery during which vacuum-assisted venous drainage was used. We will discuss the benefits and risks of this technique with potential arterial air embolism despite the use of arterial line filters. We will also make recommendations for avoiding such complications.
