Use of apical suction to facilitate extra-anatomic bypass for recurrent coarctation: a case report

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The use of apical suction devices has been well described for maintaining satisfactory haemodynamics during off-pump surgical coronary revascularization. Its expanded use has been described in a few other situations. We describe here a case of recurrent coarctati...
