Design optimization of bidirectional arterial perfusion cannula

Abstract Objectives Determine if shortening the covered section of a self-expanding bidirectional arterial cannula, can enhance retrograde flow and thus reduce the risk of lower limb ischemia. Methods Outlet pressure vs flow rate was determined for three cannulas types: a 15F self-expanding bidirect...
