Using computational fluid dynamics to evaluate a novel venous cannula (SMART CANULA) for use in cardiopulmonary bypass operating procedures.

Peripheral access cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is initiated with percutaneous cannulae (CTRL) and venous drainage is often impeded due to smaller vessel and cannula size. A new cannula (Smartcanula ®, SC) was developed which can change shape in situ and, therefore, may improve venous drainage. Its p...
