Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The 'CardioGard Cannula' Gaseous emboli capturing ability

    The gaseous emboli capturing ability of the cardiogard cannula will be evaluated using a bubbles counter. .

    36 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The amount of emboli particles which evacuated from the cardiopulmonarybypass machine by the CardioGard Cannula

    36 months

  • The Neurological effect of reducing gaseous emboli from the heart during cardiac surgery.

    36 months

Study Arms (2)

CardioGard group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in whom the CardioGard Cannula will be used, while In these patients there would be a measurement of the gaseous emboli in two points: 1. The aortic vent. 2\. The suction cannula of the 'Cardiogard cannula'.

Device: CardioGard Cannula

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in whom a 22Fr curved Cannula will be used, while In these patients there would be a measurement of the gaseous emboli in the aortic vent alone.

Device: 22Fr curved Cannula

Interventions

CardioGard Cannula is a specially designed arterial (aortic) cannula for use in cardiac surgery for the purpose of removal of gaseous and solid embolic material emanating during the CPB procedure. The CardioGard cannula is a double lumen cannula where the primary lumen provides blood from the heart-lung machine similar to ordinary cannulas and the secondary lumen performs suction of blood and embolic matter away from the aortic arch and back to the cardiopulmonary bypass machine for filtration.

Eligibility Criteria

Age50 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient indicated for first-time non-emergent procedure under cardiopulmonary bypass which is expected to last up to 6 hours.
  • Patient undergoing an elective isolated coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), or an elective isolated aortic/mitral valve replacement (AVR/MVR) or an elective combined aortic/mitral valve replacement (AVR/MVR) with coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
  • The patient is \>50 and \<85 years of age.
  • The patient's body weight is compatible with blood net flow of 4 - 5 \[l/min\].
  • Patient with left ventricular ejection fraction \>30% as assessed by either echocardiography, angiography or by radio nuclear assessment (MUGA)
  • The patient is willing to participate as evidenced by signing the written informed consent.
  • Male or non-pregnant female patient (Note: Females of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test)

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient with abnormal clotting mechanism: PT 60%, PTT\>2 the normal.
  • Patient with an aortic trauma.
  • Patient contraindicated for open heart surgery under bypass machine.
  • Patient undergoing a re-do procedure.
  • Patient intended for an operation performed using minimally invasive surgical techniques (e.g., mini-sternotomy)
  • Patient with pathologies which affect his/her neurological condition.
  • Patient in whom emergency operation is required.
  • Patient with a known allergy to Heparin
  • Patient with major co-morbid condition(s) that could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study, or impact the scientific integrity of the study, including but not limited to:
  • previous stroke
  • critical preoperative state
  • poor ventricular function
  • severe pulmonary hypertension \[19\]
  • Atheroembolism
  • history of cardiac failure \[20\]
  • +4 more criteria
