  • Title: A method of preventing air embolus in open-heart surgery.
    Author: Lemole GM, Pinder GC.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1976 Apr; 71(4):557-8. PubMed ID: 1263537.
    Abstract:
    Intraoperative air embolus following cardiac surgery poses a serious problem. Many maneuvers have been suggested in an attempt to minimize its occurrence. Partial aortic clamping, creating a cupola which collects this air, is combined with aortic venting. The use of this simple technique is described as an alternative and easily applicable trouble-free method.
