ABSTRACT
Total circulatory arrest with full venous drainage can result in air entering the arterial system through several possible sites such as the aortic cannulation site or collateral vessels. Air present in the arterial system during total circulatory arrest imposes a special problem. We describe a simple technique of short-term retrograde systemic perfusion to remove air from the arterial system before restarting systemic arterial perfusion after total circulatory arrest.
