Angled Aortic Cannulation Reduces Cerebral Embolic Transport and Adverse Wall Loading During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Patient-Specific Hemodynamic Study

Nafis M. Arefin, Bryan C. Good

Embolic stroke during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is strongly influenced by cannula induced flow disturbances that govern emboli transport and aortic wall loading. This study quan…
