Juan - Did you really use a Fogarty catheter? People talk about using Foley catheters but I’ve had poor experience with them, and a large balloon can obstruct inflow/outflow of the cardiac chamber. Does the Fogarty work well. Is this a size 6?

Why the nasty multiple incisions? Was this a thoraco-lap with other injuries?
Karim - I’ve used the Foley, it works well on the (R) ventrical and the atrua, but is a hassle on the left as the muscle is thick and the space limited. I still find that a raidly placed 3/0 proline suture, with no pledgets works for most injuries!

@Tim: I’ve used the foley too but never been very impressed with it. Juan was describing using a Fogarty though - which I’ve not tried.
