A biocompatible Carmedacardioplegia system was developed at Rhode Island Hospital for the administration of crystalloid and blood cardioplegia. The system uses a venous reservoir bag, a single pass heat exchanger with bubble trap, and a roller pump to circulate the cardioplegia solution. Because a Carmeda coated cardioplegia system does not exist, we designed a system that could be incorporated into a Carmeda coated cardiopulmonary bypass circuit.
Key words: cardiopulmonary bypass / Carmeda / thrombo-resistant / cardioplegia / covalent bonding
