    Author: Singh RS, Singh H, Sharma V, Mahajan S.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2009 Feb; 8(2):250-1. PubMed ID: 19001455.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: We wish to share a unique occurrence of disconnection of the aortic cannula tip from the rest of the cannula while still on bypass. METHODS: This complication was encountered while conducting a coronary artery bypass surgery. RESULTS: We managed to control the situation and resuscitate the patient. No major after-effect was observed and the patient made an uneventful recovery. CONCLUSIONS: Such a complication should be kept in mind and the disposables used in every surgery should be checked before using them.
