| Popis: | We present a safe and easy-to-apply method of securing monitoring atrial cannulae after pediatric cardiac operations. We used Silastic ligatures together with purse strings on the tip of the atrial appendages in more than 350 cases, in a 5-year period. We never reported malfunctioning during their use, and no bleeding or rupture complication was detected by echocardiographic control after withdrawal. |
