This second option, used in our clinical experience, has been extended to applications other than aortic arch reconstruction, to facilitate cardiopulmonary bypass in small neonates (< 3.0 kg) with complex congenital heart defects, and to facilitate postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
