(J. Extra-Corpor. Technol. 19[2] p. 231-232 Summer 1987). The aortic cross-clamp, when applied, may not, for a variety of reasons, totally occlude the aorta. Leakage during cardioplegic infusion increases the volume required for effectiveness. Between infusions, systemic perfusate can warm the heart. Such leakage can lead to more frequent infusions of greater volume while minimizing myocardial protection. Described is a simple technique to assess the quality of occlusion immediately after the application of the aortic cross-clamp.
